 Sabre is partnering with the United States Census Bureau, the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy, to assist with the 2010 Census. As a partner, Sabre has pledged its commitment to share the 2010 Census message and mobilize its constituents in support of the Census Bureau's goal of achieving a complete count.
The 2010 Census is crucial because it affects:
Community Funding
Census data directly affect how more than $300 billion per year in federal and state funding is allocated to communities for neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation and much more. That's more than $3 trillion over a 10-year period. Spending just a few minutes to fill out your census form will help ensure your community gets its fair share of federal and state funding.
Individuals’ Voice in Congress
Mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the census is also used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and to redistrict state legislatures.
Representation in State and Local Government
Census data are used to define legislature districts, school district assignment areas and other important functional areas of government.
Community Decisions
The census is like a snapshot that helps define who we are as a nation. Data about changes in your community are crucial to many planning decisions, such as where to provide services for the elderly, where to build new roads and schools, or where to locate job training centers.
