With the Census 2020 deadline coming up quickly (September 30) all efforts are being made to ensure as many people as possible complete the Census.
As we all know, the Census plays a large role in distributing funds to various programs that are crucial for emergency response, schools, hospitals, roads, and countless social service programs. Virginia Garcia asks you to reach out to your communities and encourage them to participate.
Currently, 77% of all Oregonians have responded to the Census. However, we still have communities that are at a much lower response rate. Check the response rate of your County or City and see how Oregon stacks up across the country here.
Many thanks to Mayor Steve Callaway for helping us record the second "Now You Know" public service announcement for the 2020 Census. Feel free to share far and wide!
