DECISIONS: Business owners rely on census data to make critical decisions such as where to locate new facilities, whether to expand operations, where to recruit employees, and which products and services to offer.
ECONOMIC POLICY: The census data is used to shape our state and national economic policies including our unemployment rate, interest and inflation rate, exports and Consumer Price Index.
REPRESENTATION: The 2020 Census will likely show that our growth over past 10 years will result in North Carolina acquiring a new congressional seat that will rank us in the top 7 for congressional representation.
