Today is Census Day
(It's also April Fool's Day so watch out for those sneaky jokes.)
If you haven't filled out your census form yet, today is a good day to do it. You wouldn't want census workers knocking on your door when company's over.
Response rate has been not bad. The national rate is at 52 percent so far. But in this city, the response rate is tied with the state at 49 percent. City leaders are hoping for an 80 percent rate this year. In 2000, the city reached 76 percent.
Census workers say it takes just 10 minutes to fill out the 10-question form. But I say if you know your race and how many people live in your house, you can do it in five minutes.
