The 2020 Census is coming up next week, and it is imperative Copper Country residents make sure they are counted.
Glen Anderson, Chairman of Houghton County’s Complete Count Committee, stated that currently, Houghton County has a 22% completion rate for the Census, which is below both the state and federal levels.
Anderson also said another concern for the Copper Country, were the 4,500 students who attend Michigan Tech and Finlandia Universities, but live off campus, and were sent home.
No word on how those students will factor in the census equation.
Anderson explained why the Census is so important.
