Did You Know?

The census is supposed to count every person living in the United States, but it often fails to count young children. Young kids under 5 are the age group most likely to be missed by the census. The 2010 Census undercounted young children in the United States by one million kids.

When kids aren’t counted in the census, it hurts our communities and reduces funding for important programs that help our kids and families. Colorado’s 2020 Census data will be used to allocate billions of dollars in federal funding for programs like child care assistance, Head Start, foster care and WIC. In one year alone, Colorado received $2 billion in federal funding for kids’ programs based on our census population counts. If young kids aren’t counted, our communities won’t receive their fair share of this funding for the next decade.
