Okay, be honest: Did you do the last census? You probably don’t remember and you’re likely not alone. In 2010, when the last census took place, only 61.9 percent of New Yorkers completed the population survey. Sounds trivial, but not for Julie Menin. The recently-appointed NYC census director, dubbed the “census czar,” sees it as money left on the table. Money that could have gone to funding vital programs for the city.
