Census 2010 information for cities and counties to be released in February of 2011

I stumbled on this information and thought I would share it here.  This shows the final participation rates for the 2010 Census compared to the 2000 response rates for Lake Worth, West Palm Beach and Greenacres.  You might recall that the city of Lake Worth hired Annabeth Karson and Shauna Coolican to head up the Total Count Committee at a still undetermined final cost.  The city did this even though the County had its own total count effort.  

Was this money well spent?  Judging by the comparison above, an additional 4 percent response rate over 2000 is a modest improvement, but still is lower than the response rate for West Palm Beach and just one percentage point higher than Greenacres.  We'll see what the February results tell us.
