Have your returned you census form? If not, is it out of fear or distrust of the Federal Govenment? The Houston Chronicle reports low census return rates for GOP zip codes. Hmmm
How is Alabama doing? Well, you can check a neat new interactive map from the Census folks...and it shows Alabama with a statewide 27% return rate, the same as Texas. The northern Alabama tier counties seem to have a bigger return rate than the southern and, especially, the Western Counties, And nationally, while the average is 34%, the Northern States near the Canadian border seem to have a hgiher rate than anywhere else.
In the 2000 census, Alabama had a 66% return rate.
Tim, the link is dead.
ReplyDeleteHowever... I spoke with Lee Roop, whom authored the story, and he explained to me that the story will be published in Sunday's paper, at "about 30 inches" in length.
He said that, since I called, he would share with me that the Huntsville MSA is going to be around 404k±.
Of course, what was even more interesting, is that despite the two major economic downturns we've had in that period - the 911 terrorist disaster, and the most recent one in which we are now mired - the Huntsville MSA has CONTINUED to grow.
Of course, that means a whole lotta' implications when it comes to spending money.
I've noticed that the Guvnuh and other Mun-gum-re-uns have been a-courtin' up here on a very regular basis of late... say the past 8 months or so.
funny how stupid republicans are.
ReplyDeletethe obama administration will not prosecute any white man for not filling out the census.
(they don't want to count white people)
