The 2010 Census is on the horizon and the U.S. Census Bureau and the Odessa Census Project want to ensure that everyone is counted. We are in partnership as a community-based organization with the U.S. Census Bureau. Through our collaborative relationship, we can reach our shared goal of counting all residents of Odessa and Ector County in the 2010 Census. By being informed about the census and having a better understanding the census process, residents are more likely to respond to the census questionnaire.
