With just a few days left to send them back, Wisconsin leads the nation with a 77-percent participation rate in the Census survey.
That number should pick up as 40 census workers called enumerators are descending on University of Wisconsin campuses to get students to fill out the forms.
In the 2000 census, the bureau estimated that completed census forms were returned from 81-percent of Wisconsin residential addresses, with the rate hitting 84-percent in Dane County. The national average was 72-percent.
The current 77-percent participation rate far exceeds the national average of only 65-percent.
