"I urge you to be counted in the 2010 Census. In participation, it insures the community gets our fair share of federal dollars. It's easy, important, and safe. The 2010 Census is in our hands." 
- Johnny L. DuPree, Ph.D.

In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions, and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. Throughout the City of Hattiesburg, there will be specified areas all citizens will be able to visit and receive assistance in filling out forms. More information on these service centers will be coming shortly.
