Officials pleased with high return rate of Census forms

May 29, 2000 By admin

Iowa’s record-high return rate on Census forms bodes well for the next Census according to Beth Henning, the Iowa liaison to the U-S Census.Last Wednesday, Census bureau officials announced an estimated 74 percent of Iowans sent in their Census survey forms — the best return rate in the nation.Henning doesn’t expect Iowa to lose a Congressional seat as a result of the 2000 Census, but it’s likely in 2010 if the state doesn’t grow — and a great number of Iowans fail to participate in the next Census.Census employees are going door-to-door in Iowa now, checking the roughly 330-thousand addresses throughout the state which did NOT return a 2000 Census Form.
