Fed Census-Based Aid To Connecticut — By The Numbers

CONNECTICUT — U.S. Census Bureau officials this week released a chart detailing potential federal aid to state and local programs guided by data derived from the census itself.

The U.S. Census is conducted every 10 years. An accurate count assures more equitable awards to the state and Connecticut's towns, bureau officials said.

The 2020 impact is expected to be about $11 billion, officials said. In order to promote census participation, bureau officials released a detailed account of the $10,726,609,427 awarded in the 2016 fiscal year based on 2010 census numbers.
