“The percentage of households that have mailed back their Census forms could top the 2000 response rate — a major accomplishment in the face of growing suspicion of government, swelling population and increased diversity. The participation rate hit 71% Tuesday, just one point below the 2000 Census rate.” -- USA TODAY, Wednesday, April 21, 2010
The Census folks add:
America can be very proud of its participation in the 2010 Census. 71% is not the final mailback participation rate. The participation by more than 7 in 10 households will help save money and make the upcoming door-to-door count easier to complete.
You can continue to check the participation for the nation, your state and community.
