Latino children are among the most under-counted populations in the U.S. More than 56.5 million Latinos live in the U.S., and roughly one in three live in hard-to-count census tracts. This hits our community hard because according to the 2010 Census, Hispanic or Latino residents accounted for 31.2% of the Waterbury population; 20.1% Black or African American.
For every child under-counted, the state will lose funding for health insurance, hospital programs, childcare and early childhood development. Count EVERYONE and fill out the census online.
