2010 United States Census
The 2010 United States Census is the twenty-third and most recent United States national census. National Census Day, the reference day used for the census, was April 1, 2010; the census was taken via mail-in citizen self-reporting, with enumerators serving to spot-check randomly selected neighborhoods and communities. As part of a drive to increase the count's accuracy, 635,000 temporary enumerators were hired; the population of the United States was counted as 308,745,538, a 9.7% increase from the 2000 Census. This was the first census in which all states recorded a population of over half a million, as well as the first in which all 100 largest cities recorded populations of over 200,000; as required by the United States Constitution, the U. S. census has been conducted every 10 years since 1790. The 2000 U. S. Census was the previous census completed. Participation in the U. S. Census is required by law in Title 13 of the United States Code. On January 25, 2010, Census Bureau Director Robert Groves inaugurated the 2010 Census enumeration by counting World War II veteran Clifton Jackson, a resident of Noorvik, Alaska.
More than 120 million census forms were delivered by the U. S. Post Office beginning March 15, 2010; the number of forms mailed out or hand-delivered by the Census Bureau was 134 million on April 1, 2010. Although the questionnaire used April 1, 2010 as the reference date as to where a person was living, an insert dated March 15, 2010 included the following printed in bold type: "Please complete and mail back the enclosed census form today." The 2010 Census national mail participation rate was 74%. From April through July 2010, census takers visited households that did not return a form, an operation called "non-response follow-up". In December 2010, the U. S. Census Bureau delivered population information to the U. S. President for apportionment, in March 2011, complete redistricting data was delivered to states. Identifiable information will be available in 2082; the Census Bureau did not use a long form for the 2010 Census. In several previous censuses, one in six households received this long form, which asked for detailed social and economic information.
The 2010 Census used only a short form asking ten basic questions: How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010? Were there any additional people staying here on April 1, 2010 that you did not include in Question 1? Mark all that apply: Is this house, apartment, or mobile home – What is your telephone number? What is Person 1's name? What is Person 1's sex? What is Person 1's age and Person 1's date of birth? Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin? What is Person 1's race? Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else? The form included space to repeat all of these questions for up to twelve residents total. In contrast to the 2000 census, an Internet response option was not offered, nor was the form available for download. Detailed socioeconomic information collected during past censuses will continue to be collected through the American Community Survey; the survey provides data about communities in the United States on a 1-year or 3-year cycle, depending on the size of the community, rather than once every 10 years.
A small percentage of the population on a rotating basis will receive the survey each year, no household will receive it more than once every five years. In June 2009, the U. S. Census Bureau announced. However, the final form did not contain a separate "same-sex married couple" option; when noting the relationship between household members, same-sex couples who are married could mark their spouses as being "Husband or wife", the same response given by opposite-sex married couples. An "unmarried partner" option was available for couples; the 2010 census cost $13 billion $42 per capita. Operational costs were $5.4 billion under the $7 billion budget. In December 2010 the Government Accountability Office noted that the cost of conducting the census has doubled each decade since 1970. In a detailed 2004 report to Congress, the GAO called on the Census Bureau to address cost and design issues, at that time, had estimated the 2010 Census cost to be $11 billion. In August 2010, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke announced that the census operational costs came in under budget.
Locke credited the management practices of Census Bureau director Robert Groves, citing in particular the decision to buy additional advertising in locations where responses lagged, which improved the overall response rate. The agency has begun to rely more on questioning neighbors or other reliable third parties when a person could not be reached at home, which reduced the cost of follow-up visits.

Callaway County, Missouri
Callaway County is a county located in the U. S. state of Missouri. As of the 2010 United States Census, the county's population was 44,332, its county seat is Fulton. With a border formed by the Missouri River, the county was organized November 25, 1820, named for Captain James Callaway, grandson of Daniel Boone. Callaway County has been referred to as "The Kingdom of Callaway" after a 19th-century incident in which some residents confronted Union troops, during the U. S. Civil War. Callaway County is part of the Jefferson City, Metropolitan Statistical Area. Vineyards and wineries were first established in the area by German immigrants in the mid-19th century. Among the first mentioned in county histories are those around the southeastern Callaway settlement of Heilburn, a community neighboring Portland, on the Missouri River. Since the 1960s, there has been a revival of winemaking there and throughout Missouri; the Callaway Nuclear Generating Station is located near Fulton. This area was occupied by the Osage and other Native American peoples, some of whom migrated from east of the Ohio River Valley.
Others emerged as cultures in this area, following thousands of years of settlement by indigenous peoples. The early European-American settlement of Callaway County was by migrants from the Upper South states of Virginia and Tennessee, with an influx of German immigrants starting in the 1830s, as was the case with other counties along the Missouri River; some of them brought African-American slaves and slaveholding traditions with them, started cultivating hemp and tobacco, the same crops as were grown in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Given their culture and traditions, this area became known as Little Dixie. By 1860, slaves made up at least 25 percent of the county's population, higher than in most parts of the state. On October 27, 1860, an African-American woman known as "Slave Teney" was lynched by whites near Fulton after she confessed to killing the daughter of her mistress; some pioneer families from Callaway and Lewis County, moved to the West and became influential early settlers of the nascent state of California.
Callaway families were instrumental in establishing settlements in areas of California near the Oregon border, as they entered the state via the Oregon Trail southward toward San Francisco. Lewis County relatives helped building Sacramento and develop viticulture in the California Central Valley and areas north of San Francisco Bay; some of these Missouri families key US/Unionist advocates and military personnel during the U. S. Civil War, held early local and statewide political offices in California. A large percentage a majority, of Callaway residents are reported to have supported the Confederacy during the Civil War; the minutes of the U. S. Congressional hearing on the legitimacy of war-era elections in Callaway County include reports of substantial election meddling and voter harassment and intimidation, summarized in the 1867-68 Reports of Committees of the House of Representatives, it described the Confederate support in the county, citing prominent citizens, but the report demonstrated that there was substantial county support for Union/US government among citizens who were intimidated into silence.
Historians can not ascertain Confederate sympathies in the county. The Battle of Moore's Mill was the only significant Civil War battle that took place in Callaway County. One historian said it was known as'Kingdom of Callaway'. A truce with US/Union forces during the war allowed Confederate advocates to continue to operate under surveillance, in proximity to the Missouri government offices in Jefferson City. There may have been more than twice as many Confederate as US/Union troops in Callaway. A so-called "Confederate government of Missouri" set up offices in southwest Missouri near the northwest corner border of Arkansas, while a line straight south along the Arkansas-Oklahoma border connected it to a known Texas-affiliate office set up across from the southwest corner of Arkansas in Marshall, Texas. According to "A Short History of Callaway County" by Ovid Bell, the publisher of the Fulton Daily Sun Gazette, "Fulton was occupied during the greater part of the war by Union soldiers and militia, Southern sympathizers were in constant fear of imprisonment and death."
US forces loyal to the Union were raised by Captains William T Snell, Henry Thomas, JJP Johnson. They were reinforced by troops under General John B Henderson from the town of Louisiana in Pike County, Missouri. After the late-1860s Reconstruction era, an element of white residents in the state and county worked to restore white supremacy. Violence against black people reached a peak around the turn of the 20th century, when whites lynched a total of four African Americans in the county; the victims included Ham Peterson in May 1884, killed because his brother spoke disrespectfully to whites. Other settlers in the Missouri River valley included German immigrants from the mid-19th century following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states. Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state nationally until Prohibition. Since the 1960s, numerous vineyards and wineries have been established again in the river valley, including Summit Lake
