Complete Count in 2010 Census<br />
For every community in America, the U.S. Census count<br />
represents power and money – power through adequate<br />
congressional representation and money from $400 billion<br />
in state and federal funding for hospitals, roads, schools<br />
and more. In fact, Genesee County stands to lose about<br />
$1,000 a year for each person missed by the Census.<br />
As a key partner in Census 2010, the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
took a leadership role in bringing together individuals,<br />
organizations and churches that could help spread the<br />
word. The message was simple: “We can’t afford to give<br />
up federal dollars that will improve our quality <strong>of</strong> life. When<br />
we’re not counted, we all lose.”<br />
The goal was to improve the mail response rate from the<br />
2000 Census when the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Flint</strong> was undercounted by<br />
an estimated 40 percent. Monthly meetings were held at<br />
the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> beginning in 2009, ramping<br />
up for the mail-in survey sent in April 2010.<br />
Census 2010<br />
Here’s a sampling<br />
<strong>of</strong> the communities<br />
that lost and gained<br />
population in the<br />
2010 Census.<br />
Top Five<br />
A variety <strong>of</strong> outreach methods were used to engage the<br />
community in the importance <strong>of</strong> completing the mail-in<br />
survey. Information was shared at meetings, in church<br />
bulletins and through door-to-door campaigns in areas<br />
identified as “hard to count.” Media outreach, special<br />
events and billboards also helped promote the message.<br />
Results are impressive. The mail-in response rate for<br />
Genesee County is 81% and 74% in <strong>Flint</strong>, up from 71%<br />
and 61% respectively in 2000. The County response<br />
rate is well above the 72% national response rate.<br />
“Census data are used for legislative and congressional<br />
redistricting, as well as to determine funding for hospitals,<br />
schools, job training centers, senior centers, roads and<br />
more,” said Lawrence Moon, co-chair <strong>of</strong> the Genesee<br />
County Complete Count Committee. “These improvements<br />
will have a significant impact on the lives <strong>of</strong> everyone in<br />
our community.”<br />
