【時報訊】2010年人口普查四月一日開始全國統計，匯報各地人口普查表回收率，根據四月十二日報告，全國回收率為65%，密蘇里州68%，聖路易市62%，聖路易郡75%，堪薩斯市67%，其中聖路易市低於全國比率3%，情況不樂觀。市長Francis Slay再次呼籲市民務必要將人口普查表寄回，以免社區權益受損，聯邦補助減少。
根據人口普查在四月一日後首週之統計報告，聖路易市人口普查表回收率低於全國比率，聖路易市市長辦公室與城區八家Schnucks超級市場於四月十日、十一日週末兩天，舉辦「到Schnucks寄回表格」運動。邀請人口普查局工作人員在聖路易市城區八家Schnucks店中，向民眾解釋人口普查及協助民眾填表，在Schnucks超市內即可寄回，希望能提升聖路易市人口普查表之回收率。這次推動人口普查填表運動定名為「走向郵筒」，提醒市民郵寄表格。
聖路易市市長Francis Slay說，在2008年，每個人是以3400元為基準，計算聯邦補助經費，所以如果我們少算一萬人，就等於一年內少掉三千四百萬元之經費，可見人口普查人口數字對社區福祉、市政建設之重要性。

SOUTH ST. LOUIS, MO - A trip to the grocery store in St. Louis last Saturday may have been all it took to get counted. Counted in the 2010 Census that is. In response to low Census mail-in rates, the City of St. Louis, Schnucks Stores, and the Census Bureau joined forces to help ensure that every person is counted in the City of St. Louis. The City of St. Louis currently has a response rate of 60%, which is 4% lower than the national average.
Unreturned forms might cost St. Louis millions in federal dollars. That's why city officials and census workers set up shop at several Schnucks stores across the city, trying to flag down those who haven't filled out the forms and get them to do it right then and there. They're calling it a March to the Mailbox, and they say the money involved for city programs is deadly serious.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay says, "In 2008 there was about $3,400 per person we received based on the census count. So if we are undercounted by 10,000, that's $34 million in one year that we could lose." |
