2010 Census Participation Rates - How is your community doing? |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 06:04 PM by cynatnite
Check how your community stacks up to the rest of the country. My community is WAY below the national average. No surprise. http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/

1. How do all these people know for sure they will be alive 4/1/2010? |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 06:11 PM by FarCenter
The questionaire asks "How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment or mobile home on April 1, 2010?"

3. Illinois 21% (above average) |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 06:14 PM by frazzled
We have a ways to get up to the 73% rate from 2000, but I assume we'll get there.
On edit: Cook County is only doing 15% right now. C'mon Chicagoans, the mail isn't THAT bad here.

5. We just got our Census form yesterday |
|
If the rest of our community only just got theirs, participation will be low so far. Yep - the Census map shows 0% participation for my county.

14. Is anyone against filling out the Census? |
|
I have a regular listener who is very set on not doing it, and no matter what facts he gets, he refuses for "personal reasons". I have done all I can to convince him and even gone to the Census Bureau to try and schedule someone to talk about it. I just wonder how many other progressives are going to be like this guy who on every other issue is very progressive.

16. My state is 13%, my county is 9%. |

I haven't opened my letter yet, myself. I'll get to it this week while I'm on break.
Edited to add: my mom, age 71, is working for the Census, knocking on doors and leaving information for rural neighborhoods whose mailboxes are a long way from their residences. She got bit by a dog yesterday when she approached a house to leave the letter.

I live in Delaware. We only have three counties that get more conservative as you go south.
New Castle County most liberal = 12% Kent in the middle = 14% Sussex is mostly republican = 17%
Sussex is where that Tea Bagger tape of them yelling at Rep. Castle(R) at a Town Hall was taken several months ago. I guess our conservatives don't want to lose any dollars.

21. So far, about 16% of the people in my Zip Code have done it. That's the national and state averages |
|
in current responses.
That puts us on track to duplicate the 72% from 2000 when all forms are delivered.
