The City of Arlington is partnering with the Census
Bureau to promote the 2010 Census in our community.
As Census data is used to allocate billions in
federal funds to state, local and tribal governments
across the country, it is important that Arlington
have a high Census count.
In 2000, Arlington’s mail response rate was 68
percent – 3 percentage points higher than the
national rate of 65 percent.
2010 Goal – at least 75 percent! The only way we can
meet this goal is to have Arlington residents be
aware of and complete the survey in a timely manner.
After all, it’s only 10 questions that can be
completed in 10 minutes!!
Appointed by City Council in May 2009, the City of
Arlington’s Complete Count Committee is made up of
Arlington residents who are committed to making both
residents and businesses aware of the importance of
the upcoming Census.
