The final mail back response rates are in. Nationally 72% of the U.S. residents mailed back their 2010 Census forms. Georgia was one of the 28 states that exceeded their 2000 mail in rates. The U.S. Census Bureau is proud of the results because of the decrease in survey responses in the last decade.
Now 635,000 census takers will travel all across the country to go door to door to obtain census responses from all remaining households. The temporary census workers are in training this week and will begin obtaining census responses this weekend. The Census Bureau is urging households to open their doors to their local census taker and will provide more information on this operation at a news briefing May 3.
