Get Counted in the 2020 Census
When one person gets missed being counted in the US Census, it is estimated that that community where that person should have been counted in loses out on over $19,100 from federal funding over the coming decade. That is because many federal programs use the community's Census count as part of the formula for determining funding amounts. With the rapid increase in population and knowing the importance of an accurate census count, our local community has brought together a diverse group of dozens of individuals to form the  McKenzie County Complete Count Committee . The committee will be kicking things into high gear as April 1--official Census day--approaches. Committee members are already meeting with oil field employees to make sure they understand the importance of the Census and what address people should be reporting themselves at.
