Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is urging people to fill out their census form.

“In 2010, Detroit had the lowest return rate in America,” said Duggan. “We probably lost $300 million over the past decade. How much would that have meant to us?”

State officials have also been calling on everyone in the state to take part and ensure all residents are counted. Census numbers are used to determine representation in Congress and the amount of federal aid received by each state.
