Colorado Prepares for
Census 2010
The administration of the decennial Census is a federal activity mandated by the constitution. In order for our communities to ensure they are completely and accurately counted in April 2010, it must also be a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and local governments.
We will maintain this web site throughout the entire Census 2010 cycle (ending about 2013) and will provide current, timely and accurate information relevant to the communities and residents of Colorado as planning and implementation for the upcoming Census proceeds and we will also inform Colorado stakeholders about Census 2010 endeavors throughout the state.

Redistricting
Public Law 94-171, enacted by Congress in December 1975, requires the Census Bureau to provide state legislatures with the small area census population tabulations necessary for legislative redistricting. The law also specifies:
- The states choosing to participate in this voluntary program will define the small areas for which specific data tabulations are desired and submit these areas following timelines established by the Census Bureau. These small areas include census block boundaries, voting districts, and state legislative districts.
- The Census Bureau must transmit the total population tabulations to the states by April 1, 2011.
The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program will provide states the opportunity to delineate voting and state legislative districts and to suggest census block boundaries for use in the 2010 Census redistricting data tabulations (Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data File).
The program also will ensure continued dialogue with the states in regard to 2010 Census planning, thereby allowing states ample time for planning, response, and participation.
