IT'S EASY. IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S SAFE.

Statistics show that San Juan County's population was undercounted by approximately 3,400 people in the 2000 Census (UNM BBER). Filling out Census forms next spring is critical to reducing the risk of being undercounted. Participation in the 2010 Census increases the availability of state, federal and private funding to our community and more importantly provides a voice in terms of representation at the federal, state, and local level. That's why the County has initiated the Complete Count Committee, which is a grassroots, community-based awareness program focused on the importance of being counted for the 2010 Census. So do your part and be counted San Juan!
