Lansdowne Counts

It’s essential that every resident complete the 2020 census. Since you probably have some time now, do it today!

Shaping Your Future
The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location.

Funding determined by the Census:
Census results affect planning and funding for employment and training—including programs for vocational rehabilitation state grants, and dislocated workers.

Census results affect planning and funding for education—including programs such as Head Start, Pell Grants, school lunches, rural education, adult education, and grants for preschool special education.

Census results affect planning and funding for infrastructure including programs for highway planning and construction, housing, transit, and community development.

Census results affect planning and funding for healthcare—including programs such as Medicaid, Medicare Part B, State Children’s Health Insurance, and the prevention and treatment of substance abuse.

Remember: the census counts residents (people) not citizens. There is no citizenship question on the census. Estimates are that each resident who is counted brings about $2,000 per year to Lansdowne, Delaware County and Pennsylvania.
