My Florida Census

With the 2010 Census underway, the Florida House of Representatives has launched http://www.myfloridacensus.gov/ to assist with Florida’s efforts to obtain a complete count of every person in Florida, and we need your help.

You are probably well aware of the many positive impacts of a complete and accurate count. For example, the Census helps to shape the future of child care, senior care, schools, job training centers, hospitals, emergency services and more.

MyFloridaCensus.gov is a simple online tool that allows anyone in Florida to tell us whether or not they have been counted in the 2010 Census. With that information in hand, the Florida House of Representatives is able to work with other Census partners to help analyze (and thereby minimize) which streets, neighborhoods and communities may go missed in the 2010 Census.

In order to make MyFloridaCensus.gov a valuable tool in our efforts to count everyone in Florida, we are asking that you do three simple things:
1. Visit http://www.myfloridacensus.gov/;
2. Tell us whether or not have you have been counted; and
3. Help spread the word by telling others to visit http://www.myfloridacensus.gov/.
