#RuralHealthChat: 2020 Census Engagement Opportunities for Rural Health Stakeholders
Date: Thursday, February 27, 2020
Duration: approximately 60 minutes
Rural and frontier communities are at risk of being undercounted in the U.S. Census, as nearly 70 percent of the hard-to-count population lives in these areas. An accurate census count is critical because it determines the allocation of federal funding and ensures fair political representation.
