Centered within Berlin Township is Alum Creek Lake and State Park, a popular recreational area. Our population is approximately 6500 residents which has been gradually increasing each year due to the popularity of the area, the Olentangy School District and the proximity of the Township to Columbus Ohio.

CENSUS 2020!!

As far back as 1790, we’ve been counting everyone who lives in this country.  We call it the Census.  And America’s founders included the Census in the Constitution because they wanted a government that represents the people.  Article 1 Section 2 mandates that a census occur every ten years.  And that count is used to allocate seats in the House of Representatives for the next 10 years for all 50 states.

But the Census is all that and more.  It’s a once-a-decade chance to track the shifts in population across our country.  Where do we need to build more schools, hospitals, and roads?  Your response to the 2020 Census will inform how billions in federal funding flow to communities every year.  In the spring of 2020, everyone in our country will get counted.

So, whether you are a [insert local sport team mascot name(s)] or a recent graduate or a retiree, farmer or factory worker, artist or aspiring astronaut, this message is for you.  You count!  Grandparents count, newborns count, and everyone you’ve seen today counts.  If you’ve lived in the country only a few weeks or for your entire life, you count.  If you live alone, with family, with friends, or with people you don’t know all that well, you all count.  Everyone counts!

And everyone living in your household on April 1st needs to get counted as part of the 2020 Census.  So when you get your invitation from the U.S. Census Bureau to participate in the 2020 Census, we’re counting on you to participate.  Visit www.2020census.gov  or regionalplanning.co.delaware.oh.us/data/census/ for more information.
