“Filling out your Census is crucial to ensure that our community gets its fair share of funding,” Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer said in a statement. “According to the League of California Cities, ‘for every person left uncounted in California, we could lose $1,000 in federal funding yearly for the next 10 years.’ The stakes and risks of an undercount in the 2020 Census are too high to ignore. The economic, political, and social impacts of an accurate Census count will shape our future.”
