YAKIMA COUNTY -- With only about a month left until the U.S. Census
Bureau ends its 2020 count, state legislators here in Eastern Washington
are sounding the alarm about low response rates, saying we could lose
representation in Olympia and in Washington D.C.
Data show a
significantly higher response rate in King County, compared to Yakima
and surrounding counties. So far about 75 percent of households have
filled out the census in King County, while only about 64 percent in
Yakima and 54 percent in Kittitas County.
"Seeing how it's only
once every ten years, it could mean great harm to our communities if
people don't do their civic duty," says Paul Tabayoyon, with the
Yakama-Yakima el Censo 2020 Coalition.
