The 2020 Census is here and the Midcoast is lagging far behind the rest of the county in response rates. While San Mateo County is at 66% and Half Moon Bay is at 69%, the areas of El Granada/Miramar and Montara/Moss Beach/Princeton are at 37% and 35% respectively. (Data accurate as of 4/30/20)
It's critical that everyone in our community is counted! The 2020 Census impacts congressional and state legislative districts, and funding for things like hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and more.
Go to my2020census.gov to fill out your 2020 Census Form.
If you have a mailbox, you should have received a 12-digit Census ID. However, many of us on the Midcoast have PO Boxes and didn't receive a code. If that is the case for you, just select the option on the bottom of the page that says you don't have a Census ID, and continue from there. The entire process should take about 10 minutes.
Please share this message with your neighbors and friends on the Midcoast. One way to do that is to complete the 2020 Census Challenge. Take a photo once you complete the Census and tag #SMCcounts and #EveryoneCounts on your Twitter or Instagram.
