Roaring Fork Committee Wants Everyone Counted For 2020 Census

The Roaring Fork Valley Complete Count Committee meets for the first time Wednesday at the Carbondale Library. 

The group’s goal is to reach hard-to-count populations for the 2020 Census, like the elderly, non-English speakers, seasonal workers and rural residents.

Each resident represents about $2,300 in federal funding for towns and school districts. Census data also informs congressional districts. 

Aspen’s Long-Range Planner, Philip Supino, heads the committee, which includes valley non-profits and public officials.

The census is in April of 2020.
