2020 Census: District III Presentation Jason Dean, Partnership Specialist U.S. Census Bureau-South Central Kansas February 2020 1
Why do we conduct a census? • U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 2 mandates Census to provide the data for an apportionment of representatives among the states for the House of Representatives every 10 years. • By law, the U.S. Census Bureau must deliver a report of population counts to the President of the United States on or before December 31, 2020 so apportionment can be taken. THE CHARGE: COUNT EVERYONE ONCE. ONLY ONCE. AND IN THE RIGHT PLACE. * GEOGRAPHY MATTERS * 2

Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) https://www.census.gov/roam • Public mapping application that displays characteristics of hard-to-count areas from the PDB • ACS 5-year estimates data • Census tract level
Using ROAM • ROAM — LRS (Low Response Score) = predicted level of Census self nonresponse at the tract level — Values from 0-100 — For example, If LRS= 25, we are estimating that 25% of households in that tract will not self-respond to the Census 18

How will we continue to revitalize? • It all starts with having the demographic data to apply for grants, qualify for Opportunity Zones and maintain and attract new business and people. • The U.S. Census Bureau is the premier collector of information that communities can use to discover and address the needs of the population. Whether it’s a summer program for kids or housing rehab, it’s having the numbers that count. • The 2020 decennial Census is coming soon and unlike other surveys, samples or estimates it is an enumeration of the entire populace. Every household needs to participate to be counted correctly. Don’t be left out! • Invitations to respond to the Census will be delivered to households in March 2020.
