1705-416: The handheld computing devices.

1760-529: The hope of avoiding an undercount of this group.

It also ran an advertisement during the 2010 Super Bowl , and hired singer Marie Osmond , who

1815-630: The largest population increase was Texas .

According to political commentator Juan Williams , "Census participation rates have been declining since 1970, and if conservatives don't participate, doubts about its accuracy and credibility may become fatal." As a result, the Census Bureau undertook an unprecedented advertising campaign targeted at encouraging white political conservatives to fill out their forms, in

2035-450: The overall response rate.

2255-453: The rise in social media and cell-phone usage in the U.S., the Census Bureau used research gathered through a cell-phone study in order to target media and adds to populations that were nonrespondents and promote census participation.
