The census determines the amount of federal funds the County receives for public safety, transportation and other county programs. Additionally, the Census determines the districts of the state legislature and the number of seats that Florida will have in the United States Congress.
“Everyone needs to be counted,” said Mayor Alvarez. “Miami-Dade County is a hard to count area, but we committed to ensuring the census count is as accurate and complete as possible.”
