Good job America! The U.S. Census Bureau announced this week that 74% of households in the US filled out and mailed back their 2010 Census questionnaire, matching the final mail participation rate achieved in the 2000 Census.
Spokane County had 78% participation rate and Kootenai County 77%, although I can’t find on the Census site how that compares to 2000’s participation rate. For those of you really interested in the numbers, you can narrow it down even further to cities and towns by clicking here.
