The U.S. Census counts every person who is living in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. 

As a democracy, our country is dependent on fair and equitable representation in Congress and dispersal of resources. There are 435 representatives in the Congress and they are allocated to the states based on the population of the states. Congressional districts are delineated by population and funds are dispersed by population. The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, public works projects and emergency services. This amount is equal to $1,000 for each man, woman, and child in Utah. 

During the 2000 Census 68% of the citizens of Utah responded to the Census Survey. Millions of dollars were spent trying to track down the other 32% and it is estimated that 38,000 of the people who live in Utah were not counted at that time.  

The Census survey has ten questions; it will only take ten minutes.  Please complete the survey when it comes in the mail, beginning in March 2010. Answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law. For more information visit the 2010 Census Web site at http://www.census.gov/2010.

South Ogden Animal Care facility located at 5594 S. 600 E. (South Ogden City Public Works complex off Adams Avenue). The shelter offers services to South Ogden, Uintah and Riverdale residents accepting stray animals as well as owner surrenders for a $25.00 fee. We are not staffed during working hours so please call before you come to schedule a time to meet.

South Ogden Animal Services will attempt to find homes for healthy, non-aggressive, adoptable companion animals so if you are looking to adopt a forever companion, give us a call to make an appointment. We vaccinate, microchip and include a voucher for a deposit on spay/neuter with our adoptions. We can also microchip pets you may already have for $15.00. Microchipping is the best way to make sure your pet always has their phone number with them, and proves ownership.  All dogs in South Ogden must have a current license. To purchase your license please log on to www.petdata.com

To register an animal control complaint, or any other animal control/adoption related issue or to volunteer please call 801-622-2949. If you need immediate assistance, contact dispatch at 801-629-8221.
