Manatee County residents have six more weeks to respond to the 2020 Census to avoid an undercount that could cost the state and local community billions of dollars for programs and impact representation in Congress. As of Thursday, Aug. 12, 56.6 percent of Manatee County residents have responded to the Census, trailing Florida's overall count by about 4 percentage points. According to the Census, Anna Maria Island, along with west and south Manatee County are the areas where the most residents need to be counted. “Taking the census is an important civic duty that only takes a few minutes,” said County Administrator Cheri Coryea. “If you've completed the census already please remind your family, friends and neighbors. It's a small time investment that will help build a better community for years to come.”
