Posted by Fred Steiner on May 14, 2020 - 5:04pm
Bluffton residents are standing up and being counted.
The latest self-response rates as of May 12 reveal that 76.5 percent of Bluffton residents have responded to the U.S. Census. Of that total, 66 percent responded on the census internet survey.
Bluffton’s 2010 response rate to the census was 82.6 percent, so it appears that the village is on track to top that percentage figure this time around.
The accompanying chart show total census responses in Allen County.
Census Day was April 1. For persons who have yet to be counted, there are three ways to do it.
