Less than 54 percent of Troy households have completed their Census questionnaire. With less than 6 days left until the Census deadline on September 30th, this puts us at significant risk of an undercount.
No matter where you live, please take the time to complete the census. Funding for services to communities and to non-profits like ours can be impacted by an inaccurate count. It is safe and confidential.
