The Complete Count Committee held its fourth meeting to discuss achieving the most accurate 2020 census results at the Jack County Courthouse Thursday, March 12, which is the day the census went live.

U.S. Census Bureau Partnership Specialist Eda Kosma presented and helped lead the committee. She said the bureau began sending out their census mailings on March 12 with 90% of the country having received their mailing by Friday, March 20.

“Some of our county road mailboxes, they will actually get it hand delivered to their door,” Kosma said. “They should receive those by April 1, so everybody should have their census packets within the next couple weeks.”

The census questionnaire can be responded to by mail, phone or for the first time ever it can be responded to online.
