Navajo Nation leaders are encouraging residents to respond to the 2020 Census.
According to the Navajo Council, the tribe’s self-response rate is 21.4%, which is 8% lower than the Navajo Nation response during the 2010 count. The national response rate is nearly 66.5%.
The Census determines funding levels for many federal programs. The Trump administration attempted to end the Census a month early, but a judge today ordered the once-in-decade count to continue through Oct. 31. It can be completed at my2020census.gov.
