Mail Response Rates Jump 14% in 1 day; 18% in 2 days
Pretty big turnaround in the numbers, eh? Still, they don’t approach the levels of participation at this point in the process ten years ago. Note: We have not been able to track any other instance where the response rate has increased so drastically in a 24 hour time period. This is cause for concern.

if i get the census and it asks about how many live at an address. is ther any penalty to be incorrect in the numbers or to be dishonest in any way. for example if i added a number of people to the household, or if i was able to get a number of folks to fudge the numbers, how many would one need to affect the apportionment of funds from the govt. if i was concerned about loosing a member of congress from my state, could the numbers be affected. is there a penalty for being …let us say, …less than truthful. not that i would but i am just curious. thanks for reading.

Did you ever think that maybe the applet on the web site is *not* directly tied into the data at the NPC? That maybe somebody has to run a report on that data, then manually update the website? That maybe, just maybe, it would be a potential security breach to have the applet on the public web site tied into the systems that are used to process the Census data? That maybe because of this the numbers on the web site aren’t completely up to date?
I mean, I’m just using common sense here…
