Itasca County Census Updates
Oct 8
Census deadline update
Itasca County Census Partners –
Thanks to your leadership, Itasca County’s self-response rate is at 55.5% today and the Bureau is reporting that 99.1% of households in Northern Minnesota have been counted. Thank you!!!
Counting will continue through October 31. A federal court has ordered the Census Bureau to keep self-response options open and enumerators will continue their work in communities – at least for now. If you know someone who has not yet been contacted, ask them to go online and complete the form today.
Households can still respond at my2020census.gov
If you’d like, share your Census stories, so we – and the entire Itasca area – can celebrate too! Post it to social media and tag us: Twitter @BlandinFound Facebook: @BlandinFoundation #ItascaCounts
Again, thank you. Your leadership made a difference!

- Door knockers may still be working in Itasca County until October 31
