Welcome to Carlin, NV
Power, Jobs, and Money Nevada's Census 2010 Campaign is Underway by David A. Byerman, Chief Government Liaison for Nevada, U.S. Census Bureau To most Americans, the Census is a bureaucratic exercise, offering about as much excitement as filling out a tax form. The nation marks the passage of time, every ten years, with a monotonous civic duty. For Nevadans, on the other hand, the Census is a remarkable opportunity. There is perhaps no state in the nation that has more to gain from this process than we do here. By filling out your Census form next spring, you can dramatically enhance your own quality of life. Nevada's Census 2010 Campaign is about three things: Power. The framers of the Constitution of the United States introduced the concept of a Census in Article 1, Section 2. Every ten years, the United States Congress is reapportioned to give each state the representation it deserves, based on population. According to multiple independent analyses, Nevada stands at the threshold of receiving a fourth Congressional seat -- and by extension, a sixth Electoral Vote -- as a direct result of the 2010 Census. Jobs. In these distressed economic times, Nevada's economy will be bolstered as we conduct the Census. With one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation, Nevada needs these jobs. The 2010 Census will bring over 4,000 jobs to the state during peak operations in May/June 2010. These are good paying, flexible jobs, as field enumerators start at $14.50 per hour. Already, over 1,300 people have worked to make Nevada's Census 2010 Campaign a success, strengthening our economy over the course of this year. Money. No matter who you are or what your interests, the Census will bring much-needed federal funding to government services you utilize here in our state. A recent analysis by the Nevada State Data Center, Legislative Counsel Bureau, and State Demographer looked at all of the federal funding passed through to state and local governments, much of which is allocated on a per capita basis, based on the Census headcount. That analysis found that every man, woman, and child missed by the Census represents $917 in lost funding per person, every year for ten years: $9,170 per person over ten years. Nevadans may disagree over the size of government and what government does, but we can all agree that Nevada should receive its fair share of federal funding. The Census is a sleeper issue, one we don't think much about, but perhaps the most important thing government will do here in Nevada over the next year. Your help is essential as we seek to build a statewide campaign to promote the Census and improve response rate. This is not a monotonous bureaucratic exercise in our state: this is about Nevadans counting Nevadans for the sake of Nevada.

About Carlin

Approximately 75% of the land within the city limit lies north of the Humboldt River with the remaining 25% south of the River. Important tributaries to the Humboldt River which flow through the city are Maggie Creek and Mary's Creek. The two creeks generally serve as the east and west boundaries of the City. Carlin is significant as the gateway to the world's largest gold mines. Mining became a major employment base in the early 1960's with the development of the area commonly known as the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend boasts two of the largest open pit gold mines in the world, processing approximately 3 million ounces of ore annually. The Newmont Gold Quarry site is visible from the Interstate and the northern slopes of the City. Carlin has small town atmosphere and quality of life.
