The Decennial US Census has started; Response Lagging in our town!
On March 12, the online portal and the telephone bank at US Census opened for response. To date, millions of households have already responded to this critical questionnaire, which will determine how 675 billion dollars each year is allocated to the states. As of April 1, response rates are as follows:
National: 36.2% Vermont: 29.4% Stockbridge: 7.2%
As you can see, Vermonters are responding at lower rates than the nation. Residents should not wait to receive a form. In fact, you can respond from the comfort of your home without ever interacting with a census taker!
You have two options: First, you can go online at 2020Census.gov
and complete your Census quickly and securely. The first question will ask
for a 12-digit number; if you have not received that yet, just skip the
question and continue with the rest of the form. If you prefer not to use
the internet, you can call, toll-free, 844-330-2020, and speak with a live
person who will take your information entirely over the phone. There are
only nine questions on all census questionnaires, so this will take you no more
than 10 minutes!
Meals on Wheels, Medicare, school funding, transportation planning, and first
responders all rely on the numbers that the Census produces. Make sure
our area is counted, completely and accurately, by being proactive and
responding TODAY!
