EAST GREENWICH, RI —East Greenwich residents who have not yet filled out the Census may soon be getting a knock on the door. Residents are advised that Census takers are now following up with households who have not complete the survey. East Greenwich residents have been among the best in the state in responding, with their 73.3 percent response ranking behind only Barrington, North Kingstown and Richmond in compliance. "With the potential of a Congressional seat at stake, RI has much riding on full participation by our residents," town officials said. Residents are asked to be polite to Census takers in their neighborhood. Those who have yet to fill out the Census can also do so through several options, including a Mobile Questionnaire Assistant through Sept. 30 at area locations, such as food pantries, summer lunch programs, grocery stores, farmer's markets, housing complexes and others.
