Ready! Set! Call for the Count! The working parts of US Census weeklong push to increase 2020 Census self-response rates are on point thanks to a great team and partners making things happen!
“To renew enthusiasm among Kansas communities, US Census planning a collaborative statewide push to engage Kansans in a “Call for the Count” week. Call for the Count” is very basic and built on the notion of a phone tree. And it’s easily done from the comfort of your home. This can be a call, a text, an email, or outreach via your favorite social media platforms!
How does it work? – Ask at least five co-workers, friends, neighbors or family members to fill out their Census form. And then ask those who agree to call five of their friends and family members. And so on. The concept is in keeping with the idea trusted voices will be the ones to convince others — especially those hard-to reach -- to fill out the Census
Here is information on the census.

Milestones Count!
Consider this number: 88,700,700. That's how many households across the United States have responded to the 2020 Census. That puts the entire country over 60% for self-responding to the Census, a key milestone reached during extraordinarily challenging times.
And yay for Kansas! Our state remains in the upper tier for self-response to the Census with a 64.2% rate. (2020 Census response rate map) Here's how the state's four congressional districts compare:
- 1st Congressional District - 59.7%
- 2nd Congressional District - 63.7%
- 3rd Congressional District - 69.7%
- 4th Congressional District - 63.9%
