• U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 2

mandates Census to provide the data for an apportionment of representatives among the states for the House of Representatives every 10 years.

• By law, the U.S. Census Bureau must deliver

a report of population counts to the President of the United States on or before December 31, 2020 so apportionment can be taken.

How the 2020 Census will invite everyone to respond

Census Invitations Delivered

95% in the mail Almost 5% dropped off

Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM)

https://www.census.gov/roam

• Public mapping application that displays

characteristics of hard-to-count areas from the PDB

• ACS 5-year estimates data
• Census tract level

18

Using ROAM

• ROAM

—LRS (Low Response Score) = predicted level of Census self nonresponse at the tract level —Values from 0-100 —For example, If LRS= 25, we are estimating that 25% of households in that tract will not self-respond to the Census

Metropolitan Statistical Areas

How will we continue to revitalize?

• It all starts with having the demographic data to apply for grants, qualify for Opportunity Zones and maintain

and attract new business and people.

• The U.S. Census Bureau is the premier collector of information that communities can use to discover and

address the needs of the population. Whether it’s a summer program for kids or housing rehab, it’s having the numbers that count.

• The 2020 decennial Census is coming soon and unlike other surveys, samples or estimates it is an enumeration
• f the entire populace. Every household needs to participate to be counted correctly. Don’t be left out!
• Invitations to respond to the Census will be delivered to households in March 2020.
