Pinal County van to help raise census reporting numbers in Maricopa
by Katie Sawyer | Maricopa Monitor
Census data collection is in full swing in Maricopa and, as part of the city’s ongoing effort to raise their reporting numbers, a Pinal County van will be in town Wednesday to help residents complete their submission.
The census-mobile will park in the Bashas’ parking lot from noon to 2 p.m. and will be equipped with Wi-Fi and laptops so those entering and exiting the grocery store can complete the census right then and there.
Dale Wiebusch, intergovernmental affairs director for the city, broke it down in numbers to illustrate how much each person’s completed census affects the city’s future. Each person’s response means, on average, an additional $3,400 for the city.
