Census 2010
The Federal Census is underway! Many Santa Rosa residents have already received notification of the arrival of the 2010 Census form. The City is aware of a minor Census bureau error whereby some household mailers are showing the wrong city name (i.e. Kenwood instead of Santa Rosa). Rest assured, we’ve spoken with the Census bureau – this is a database error in the mailing labels and it will not impact where your household is counted.
