On this front, it pays to "be a number"! Hoboken residents, you should have received 2 letters + 1 postcard.

It's important. These counts impact everything from allocation of seats in the House of Representatives to the allocation of different types of funding. We also need an accurate count to better plan for our future. Our increasing density should be part of our broader discussion about the type of Hoboken we want for the future.

We should consider the strength of our health services capabilities as we review future additions to the local population and workforce.
