Tracking Census 2010 Participation Rates while the Census is being conducted

Yes that's right, it is being done! Check out this posting from our Census coordination blog.

Here's a few highlights from that post.

The current national participation rate stands at 16% as of March 23rd. Here's what the rate looks like for Capital Area counties versus the Census 2000 rate.

And here are the Top 10 cities in the Capital Area region.

For all cities in the region, see this spreadsheet. We'll probably look at this again in the next coming weeks.
