Magoffin County judge says local census response edges to 13.1%; urges residents to respond
Summary
Magoffin County Judge Matt Wyman said the county’s self-response rate rose to 13.1% (up 0.6 points) while Kentucky rose to 28.3% (up 1.8 points) in the prior 24 hours, and he urged residents to visit 2020census.gov to complete the census because federal funding for roads, schools and local grants depends on it.
Matt Wyman, county judge, said Magoffin County’s self-response rate to the 2020 census increased by 0.6 percentage points to 13.1%, while Kentucky’s rate rose by 1.8 points to 28.3% over the prior 24 hours. "We increased 0.6 to 13.1. Kentucky increased 1.8 to 28.3 over the past 24 hours," Wyman said.
Wyman urged residents to complete the census online, saying local roads, children’s education and federal grant opportunities depend on accurate responses. He repeated the website URL and a direct call to action: "Go to 2020census.gov, click respond now, and complete that census." He told residents it takes about 10 minutes to finish.
Wyman asked residents to use the judge’s social-media pages for updates and to contact the judge’s office if they need assistance completing the census.
