Local Census numbers lag as takers visit area
Census takers in Central Texas are now following up with households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census.
While they do, only 49.4 percent of Blanco County residents have self-responded to the Census, well behind the state and area averages. Statewide, 60.7 percent of residents have self-responded. All the counties surrounding Blanco County, other than Llano County, have a higher response rate.
Respond now by completing and mailing back the paper questionnaire that you received, by responding online at 2020census.gov, or by phone at 844-330-2020. Those who respond will not need to be visited to obtain their census response.
Census records are used to help award government funds in many areas, based on population and response.
