Just a friendly reminder for those of you who have not yet filled in your 2010 Census questionnaires; it’s time to put them in the mail!  King County has so far responded at a 50% participation rate, which is 2% below the national average and way below South Dakota’s 62%, which currently leads the nation.  Why is it important to mail back your census?  Well, in the legislative sense, census information directly affects the number of seats your state gets in the United States House of Representatives.

What if you never get mailed a census, lose your census, or accidently shred your census with a pile of junk mail and magazine advertisements you’re positive you sifted through before pushing the shiny button – just as a hypothetical, mind you – I have no actual knowledge regarding that last careless and unforgivable example.  Anyway, have no fear! After April 12th, you can contact the Census’ Telephone Questionnaire Assistance Centers to get a replacement form.  See the links below for more details.
