Dear WPRA members and friends:
Now, more than ever, it's important for you to complete a 2020 census questionnaire. The data gathered from this census will serve over the next decade to determine how billions of federal dollars will be allocated and how district boundaries for elected representatives are drawn/redrawn.
Based on the 2010 census data, Pasadena received more than $400 million of federal funding for local schools, transportation and roads, housing and healthcare programs.
As of the date of this newsletter, nearly 60% of Pasadena citizens have responded to the census. However, response rates for some areas in the city (
see map above) are still below 50%.
Click here to view response rates in real time.
If you have not already responded, please visit the
Census website today. Also, encourage your family, friends and neighbors to the same. It will only take a few minutes!
And don't worry if you don't have access to the internet; you can complete a census questionnaire over the phone (toll-free) by calling:
- English: (844) 330-2020
- Spanish: (844) 468-2020
- Chinese: (844) 391-2020
If you're looking for a change of scenery in a peaceful and beautiful haven, note that Arlington Garden (at Arlington Drive and S. Pasadena Avenue) is open during the Covid-19 emergency on all days of the week
except Tuesday. However, visitors should maintain physical distancing and wear a mask, to help assure a safe experience for all.

Fewer cars may be on the road due to the
Safer at Home order, but many of those cars are traveling at unsafe speeds. This is posing a real risk to those who are walking, running or biking on those same roads. The city's Department of Transportation has implemented a number of strategies to enhance safety for all road users during this period of time.
