Census App to track participation by ‘hood.

This is cool. The U.S. Census Department is tapping into the competitive spirit of men and women everywhere in an effort to get more people to complete and mail in their census forms. Meet, the Census Tracker. Simply type in your zip code and see how your neighborhood compares to others in response rates.  I see my home state of Pennsylvania is pulling in a 56% response rate compared to a national average of 50%….so far. Off to return my census form!
