There’s still plenty of time to fill out the 2020 U.S. Census.
Responding to the census is not only your civic duty; it also affects the amount of funding your community receives, how your community plans for the future, and your representation in government.
Data from the census is used for the following:
- Ensure public services and funding for schools, hospitals and fire departments.
- Plan new homes and businesses and improve neighborhoods.
- Determine how many seats your state is allocated in the House of Representatives.
Last report shows Kay County has a 60% response rate, putting the county in the top ten for Oklahoma in response rates. Oklahoma’s statewide response rate is 55.9%
