AURORA (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The City of Aurora is looking for volunteers to help boost the response rate for the 2020 Census.
Mayor Richard Irvin said census participation is at 72% ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline, but some neighborhoods are struggling.
There are 25 neighborhoods in 12 census tracts and across six wards (Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7) that have responses rates less than 60%.
The city is asking volunteers to visit those neighborhoods on August 25 and September 25, to talk to residents and distribute information about the census.
