OKANOGAN - As of mid-April, 41.7 percent of Chelan County households had returned their 2020 Census questionnaire, while 46.4 percent of Douglas County households had done so. Okanogan County, with a 23.8 percent response rate, is the least responsive of Washington’s 39 counties. Among cities in North Central Washington the numbers varied widely from a low of 4.9 percent (Brewster) to a high of 58.8 percent (East Wenatchee).
Washington households still have time to self-respond to the Census at 2020census.gov, via toll-free number at 844-330-2020, or by paper questionnaire, after which Census Takers will begin in-person visits. (Households in rural areas of North Central Washington which do not receive regular home mail delivery are asked to wait to respond; they will have a Census packet dropped-off at their doorstep this summer.)
