There are three days left to send back the 2010 census forms and officials are calling on households to return the surveys. According to the government, 67 percent of households have returned the forms nationally. In the 2000 Census, 72 percent of the public mailed back their forms. Many community groups are also urging people to send in the forms as the census determines funding for social programs. Today, we’re going to look at one community’s efforts to get everyone counted.
