Get To Know Your Local Census Office in Downtown
The United States Census Bureau is preparing for the grand opening of its Miami South Local Census Office (LCO).
OPEN HOUSE
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 5:00 – 7:00 PM
1390 Brickell Avenue, Suite #270 Miami, FL 33130
Pacific National Bank Building
This office serves the communities of Key Biscayne, Miami, West Miami, Virginia Gardens, Miami Springs, Coral Gables and Medley.
2010 is Census year, an accurate count is critical in the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives, drawing of state legislative districts, and distribution of nearly $400 billion in federal, state, local, and tribal funds. These funds provide street repairs, neighborhood parks, additional schools, and resources, such as, fire, and police services.
The results of the tabulation counts from the U.S. Census affect every aspect of this community which includes business like yours. The demographic and economic census data can be used to locate retail stores, advertise, and improve business strategies.
Our Open House gives the community an opportunity to see the office and meet the staff that will diligently work to ensure that our community is counted, and counted correctly. It also provides the community with the reassurance that the information acquired in the 2010 Census is regarded as Title 13 information as is restricted from disclosure for 72 years, under penalty of prison and fine as outlined in the U.S. Code. Confidentiality is not just a Census Bureau standard of behavior – it’s guaranteed by law.
