GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A Green Bay organization is leading an effort to increase responses to the U.S. Census 2020.
The goal of New North’s #CensusChallenge is to increase the response rate of Northeast Wisconsin to more than 80%.
As of April 7th, counties ranged from a low of 10.2% to a high of 64.7%.
Data collected by the Census provides the basis for community funding and reapportioning Wisconsin’s Congressional seats to draw Congressional districts and state legislative districts.
If a resident is not counted, that area stands to lose funding and representation.
You can fill out the 2020 Census for your household online. Census takers will interview homes that haven’t responded by mid-May.
