The DeSoto Times Today discusses the upcoming 2010 Census...
DESOTO COUNTY — DeSoto Countians responded to the last U.S. Census in 2000 at a rate about 6 percent below the national average.
U.S. Census official Alicia Netterville said she doesn’t want to see that happen again next year when the 2010 Census gets under way.
Netterville said census figures are critically important in determining representation in the U.S. Congress and in calculating formulas involving a whole array of federal programs.
Sixty-two percent of DeSoto Countians returned census forms in the last census. The national average is 68 percent.
