Description
Aug. 20: New census deadline. Andrew Virden, the State of Minnesota’s director of census operations and engagement, joins us to talk about the new deadline to complete the census and why everyone should do it.
A
A
A
B
B
B
C
Yeah,
thank
you
for
having
me,
michael
and
I'm
here,
to
try
and
answer
questions
that
you
may
have
about
what's
happening
with
the
2020
census.
We
want
to
ensure
that
everyone
is
counted,
that
we
have
a
complete
and
accurate
count
of
everyone,
who's
living
in
the
united
states,
and
we
are
now
working
with
a
timeline
of
trying
to
get
everyone
counted
by
september.
30Th.
C
B
B
B
B
C
B
B
C
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
explaining
is
why
we
are
doing
this
census
and
the
reason
why
is
because
census
data
is
used
to
distribute
federal
funding
for
very
important
programs
and
those
and
programs
that
are
run
by
the
state
and
by
the
local
community
include
funding
for
things
like
affordable
housing,
for
nutrition
programs,
for
school
programs,
for
job
training,
programs
for
roads
and
highways
and
public
transit.
Many
important
things:
that's
why
it's
important
that
everyone
be
counted
when
we
miss
out
on
counting
someone,
we
lose
those
community
benefits.
B
B
B
B
C
So
I
because
census
response
rates
are
confidential.
We
cannot
tell
you
exactly
which
households
have
not
responded.
The
only
the
way
that
we
talk
about
areas
that
have
not
been
responded
would
be
by
what's
called
census:
drugs,
large
neighborhood
areas.
So
in
minneapolis
there
are
some
neighborhoods
that
have
low
response
rates.
So,
if
you
think
about
the
state
of
minnesota
having
73
responding,
that
means
about
three
out
of
every
four
households
have
responded.
C
There
are
neighborhoods
in
minneapolis
that
are
fewer
than
50
percent
have
responded.
So
that
means
almost
one
out
of
two
still
need
to
respond,
and
those
areas
are
prospect.
Prospect
park,
the
university
of
minnesota,
neighborhoods,
como,
neighborhoods
and
hawthorne.
All
of
those
neighborhoods
have
response
rates
below
50
percent
and
that.
B
B
C
So
the
one
thing
that
I
want
to
make
sure
people
know
is
that
the
census
bureau
is
committed
to
a
complete
and
accurate
count,
and
this
means
counting
everyone
in
the
community
so
be
counted.
Count
everyone
in
your
household,
the
the
issues
about
what
happens
after
that
data
are
collected,
will
be
decided
at
a
later
date.
The
apportionment
counts
are
to
be
decided
by
december
31st
that
timeline
and
how
that
will
work
out
is
yet
to
be
finalized.
C
It's
not
finalized
yet,
but
what
is
coming
to
a
close
is
the
timeline
when
you
can
be
counted
and
that's
why
we're
trying
to
emphasize
it's
like
that.
You
must
take
the
time,
take
a
few
minutes
to
be
counted
and
have
everyone
in
your
household
counted.
It's
important,
whether
you
are
a
citizen
or
not
a
citizen.
C
B
B
B
C
Two
primary
reasons:
the
first
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
community
has
fair
representation
in
congress
and
in
the
minnesota
legislature
and
also
with
the
city
council,
and
that
is
determined
by
census
data.
The
other
reason
is
we
want
to
ensure
that
our
community
gets
our
fair
share
of
billions
of
dollars
in
federal
funding
and
that
federal
funding
goes
to
staten
city
budgets
for
many
things,
including
the
covet
pandemic,
money
that
was
distributed
to
the
state
and
local
governments.
C
C
Yeah,
so
the
state
of
minnesota
estimates
that
for
every
person,
who's
not
counted
the
state
estimates,
it
will
lose
about
two
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
every
year
for
the
next
ten
years,
so
that's
over
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
per
year
and
again
at
the
at
the
federal
level.
This
is
billions
of
dollars
that
is
distributed
to
state
and
local
communities
every
year.
Do.
C
B
B
C
Yes,
thank
you
for
asking
that
we
are
having
the
people
who
would
like
to
have
help
in
person.
There
are
census
taker
events
coming
up.
You
can
look
for
a
census
table
at
three
places
at
sanctuary:
covenant,
food
distribution
events
every
friday
through
september
30th,
also
the
reimagined
38th
event
at
38th
and
chicago
avenue.
That's
every
saturday
through
september
5th
and
then
powderhorn
park
for
the
food
distribution
site
on
fridays.
B
B
C
Yes,
I
do
want
to
share
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
counted
and
for
the
hmong
information
from
our
website.
You
can
go
to
2020census.gov,
backslash,
h,
m
n.
So
again,
that's
2020censes.gov,
backslash
hmn,
so
they'll
find
information
in
mung
at
that
site,
including
a
video
guide
to
walk
them
through
how
to
complete
the
census.
So
again,
it's
2020census.gov
backslash,
h,
m
n.
Another.
