Student Voices: Census participation can improve Richmond

Editor’s note: This is the last in a series of student produced stories looking at the 2020 census.

As someone from a low-income community, an accurate census count of my community could mean a chance to improve the conditions of my community. Everyone’s participation could be beneficial for my community, but according to census report findings by the West Contra Costa County office, Richmond has a low response score, with roughly 30 percent of residents completing the previous census.
