"Were you and all the members of your household
counted in the 1990 Census?" That's the question the
Census Bureau is asking all Oregon residents as the
census nears completion. "Were You Counted" is an
important follow-up effort, part of a series of operations
planned to ensure a complete count for Oregon and the
nation.
Oregon residents who feel they were missed can also
provide information over the telephone via a toll-free
number. Beginning June 11, and continuing for one
month, toll-free assistance is available 7 days a week
between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.. The toll free number

Census information is used to apportion seats in the
U.S House of Representatives, and will be used to
redefine Oregon's congressional and legislative districts.
Census figures also play a major role in sending billions
of federal and state dollars back to communities for
education, health, child care, and other public programs
and facilities. Census data is also vitally important to
local governments in planning to meet future community
needs, attracting new business and industry, and is used
extensively by businesses in making economic decisions.
