Quincy, Hannibal will be first asked to go online
If you live in Quincy or Hannibal, you'll likely be asked first to fill out next year's U.S. Census online.
The U.S. Census Bureau Monday released its' Mail Contact Strategies Viewer, showing how the country will be asked to respond to next year's Census. A press release from the Census says that nearly every household will be invited to respond online, by phone or by mail to the census starting in mid-March. Most areas, about three of every four households, will receive an invitation to respond online or by phone, while the other households will receive a paper questionnaire along with an invitation to respond online. The Viewer shows that two thirds of Adams County will be first asked to respond online. The south-eastern third of the county will get a paper questionnaire. Nearly all of Brown County, and most of Hancock County will also get the questionnaire first, as will the southern two-thirds of Pike County. Pittsfield and the surrounding area will be asked to use the net first. In Northeast Missouri, nearly all of Marion and Ralls Counties will use the internet first, along with two-thirds of Shelby County. All of Lewis, Clark and Knox counties, and most of Pike County, Missouri will get a questionnaire. The southern one-third of Lee County, Iowa, including Keokuk, will also get questionnaires.
The Census Bureau says that all households that have not yet responded by mid-April will receive a paper questionnaire.
