  individual responses.
• Census workers are highly motivated to protect your answers – they are subject 
  to a $250,000 fine and/or a five-year prison term for disclosing any information 
  that could identify a respondent or household.

  The loss in funding for government services for just one uncounted person in 
  Broward County was estimated at $1,300 by the 2000 Census Monitoring board.   
  An undercounting of 1,000 residents means a loss in funding for Broward County
  of $1.3 million or more!
• Community organizations use census data to develop social service programs, 
  community action projects, senior lunch programs and child care centers, and 
  businesses use census data to identify where to locate factories, shopping
  centers, movie theaters, banks and offices – activities that lead to new jobs!
