The San Marcos City Council received a presentation on the San Marcos Census 2020 Complete Count Committee during Tuesday’s regular meeting.
Texas State sociology professor Dr. Gloria Martinez, who serves as the committee's co-chair, led the discussion. The presentation served as an update to the council on the committee’s outreach strategies for this year’s census.
The complete count committee has outlined two goals: 1. The accurate identification of hard-tocount and underrepresented populations in the City of San Marcos. 2. The effective promotion of the Census and increase in self-response amount residents. The committee has identified these populations as its target: renters, Hispanic/Latino, young and mobile households, the most vulnerable and traditionally hard-tocount, children under 5, immigrants, elderly, those of disability and those experiencing homelessness or housing instability
