The more Hammond residents who are counted in Census 2020, the more dollars that will flow into our communities to support education, housing, infrastructure, employment and more! That's why HDC is committed to helping spread awareness of the Census and provide assistance with Census 2020.

Here are a few reasons that a complete count of the census is important to businesses:
- Provides the basis for distributing grants for economic development and inform business decisions, such as local business expansion.
- Creates projections of growth and help you identify prime locations to open new operations or shut old ones.
- Helps business owners enhance hiring practices and identify skilled workers.
- Offers valuable information on your customer base, including income levels, household size, and home ownership, which can further inform business strategies such as pricing and locations.
- Determines how much funding our community receives and its representation in government.
Interview with HDC Executive Director Jen Bussey
When we’re missing from the census, our existence and our struggles are erased from the story of America. Resources and political power meant to support our community and give us a voice are assigned somewhere else. Don't delay, fill out the census today! Oh and don't worry, your data is kept confidential!
