美国人口普查局洛杉矶区域人口普查中心中文媒体发言人关晓芬介绍2020人口普查 （2020年4月15日，小元主持，嘉宾：美国人口普查局LA区域人口普查中文媒体发言人 关晓芬）

根据西雅图市政府邻里部人口普查策略顾问Elsa Batres-Boni提供的数据，到目前为止，人口普查的参与率（回覆率）：

• 全美国 : 61.4 %
• 华盛顿州： 66.8%
• 金县: 70.7%
• 西雅图市：70.7%
• 西雅图参与率最低的四个地区: 中国城国际区(China Town/ID)：49% * 中区(Central District): 54% * 第一山（Frist Hill）：55% ，南西雅图（South Seattle）：57%

中国城的华人参与率低，可能有以下原因：1）对所有政府活动参与率都低；2）有华人担心人口普查数据会被用以“亚裔细分”等政治目的，尽管人口普查官员已经澄清，普查数据只用于按照人口分配政府资金以及确定议员人数，不用以其他目的；3）因为文化程度、生活习惯等，不熟悉上网填写人口普查流程等。

根据美国宪法的要求，十年一次的人口普查必须计算居住在美国的每个人。人口普查数据是我们民主政府体制的基础，可确保每个州的国会代表席次平均分配。人口普查结果决定了社区的未来，人口普查数据表明了未来十年如何将数十亿美元的联邦资金分配给医疗诊所，学校午餐计划，灾难恢复计划以及其他重要计划和服务。
