Make Nueces County Count!
The 2020 Census is underway—more than half the households across America have responded—and more are responding every day. It is important that we all take the time to be counted. An accurate count is vital in determining how much federal funds our state and communities receive for priorities such as schools, healthcare systems, and transportation projects. Let’s make sure everyone in the Coastal Bend is counted!
Why does the Census matter?
Your Voice: The Census count determines the number of representatives Texans have in Congress and the number of electoral votes Texas has in presidential elections.
Public Services: The Census count determines how much Federal tax dollars are sent back to Texas to support housing, transportation, and other services our communities need.
Economic Development: Corporations and businesses look to the the demographics of communities and their consumer and workforce base – used to determine where they will locate headquarters, factories and workplaces
