CONWAY — Carroll County residents' response to the census had been lagging but them they redeemed themselves in the last few days and now, Carroll County is a co-winner of the U.S. Census' Push Week competition.
The census is important for several reasons. It helps determine how $675 billion, for things like roads and schools, is distributed to the states based on population and demographics, helps the states with legislative districting and distributing seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. This year will be the first year that people may respond to the census online or by phone.
