Why do states care about a federal project? Because census data will be used to determine political and economic power for a decade to come.
If state officials want to maximize their state’s count, they can create a Complete Count Committee or put money towards census outreach and talk up the census in their communications with constituents. Webinar participants will learn about a variety of large and small efforts from around the nation, and about one interactive tool that helps identify pockets where response rates may be low, and therefore outreach efforts could be higher.
