Census 2020
Thank you
Thanks to everyone on the Elgin Complete
Count Committee and many more
for their dedication to getting people
counted. Even though 2020 had major
challenges, this effort exceeded the 2010
campaign in self-response rates and that
makes a tremendous difference to this
community.
Thanks to all, Denise Raleigh, Co-Chair of
the Elgin Complete Count Committee
