Pinal County pushing for census responses
by Maria Vasquez | Casa Grande Dispatch
Earlier this month the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the final day to responded to the 2020 census was moved up to Sept. 30, one month earlier than previously announced.
Due to COVID-19, gathering responses to the questionnaire in some counties has lagged, and Pinal County is facing an additional struggle with Hispanic households.
While it is unknown why the self-response numbers are low among Hispanics, Census Partnership Specialist Maria Cardenas wants the public to know that there are different ways to respond to the census and that all of the information is confidential.
