There’s growing concern that the lack of high-speed internet access among low income urban and rural households, immigrants, and other minority populations might leave them undercounted in the upcoming census. That’ll be the focus of a summit Wednesday hosted by the Central New York Digital Inclusion Coalition. Co-chair and director of the LaFayette Public Library Scott Kushner says the census bureau will start by sending postcards that direct residents to a website.
The meeting on the 2020 Census this tuesday will try to engage representatives of hard to reach communities like immigrants, farm workers, and low income urban residents.
