Julian Do報導 【洛杉磯訊】 洛杉磯縣可能再次在人口普查中重蹈漏計居民的覆轍，失去可為其1000萬居民提供必要性服務的聯邦資金。和美國其他地區一樣，洛杉磯縣正受到疫情、經濟動盪和社會不平等的衝擊，這三重威脅可能需要數年的時間才有辦法解決。 洛杉磯縣長辦公室2020年人口普查小組首席分析師田島（Jason Tajima）表示，截至6月10日，洛杉磯縣的人口普查參與率為57.4%，低於加州的平均參與率62.1%，也低於全國的平均參與率61.4%。 洛杉磯縣議員巴傑（Kathryn Barger）表示，上一次人口普查的低參與率造成了一些可測量的影響。他說：「2010年人口普查嚴重漏計洛杉磯縣人口，導致本縣損失數百萬美元可用來支持許多必要性社會計劃的資金，包括興建學校、醫院和住房，直接影響民眾的福祉。」 巴傑補充，洛杉磯縣因為人口眾多且多元化，被認為是美國最難統計的一縣，洛杉磯縣無法再冒因為被漏計而失去未來十年資源的風險。 田島指出，根據加州目前獲得的聯邦資金來計算，聯邦提供約1700美元到2000美元的資金給每一位參與人口普查的民眾。每損失1美元，洛杉磯縣就愈難以繼續提供居民重要的服務，也愈難以對抗疫情。洛杉磯縣長濱井（Sachi Hamai）表示，該縣下一個會計年度預算已經短缺10億美元。 除了資助社會服務，人口普查還會影響政治代表權。在洛杉磯縣正在解決結構性和系統性的不平等問題之際，縣議員雷德利湯瑪斯（Mark Ridley-Thomas）相信，人們也在尋找可以爭取公平正義的方法，而2020年人口普查正提供了一個及時且實際的機會。 雷德利湯瑪斯說：「非裔、西語裔和亞太裔等少數族裔社區的人口，一直以來都被人口普查低估了。參與人口普查可以幫助公平重劃加州和聯邦立法者的政治選區，對糾正現今社會的結構性和系統性不公現象十分重要。」 洛杉磯縣43%尚未參與人口普查的居民，代表了該縣140萬到170萬個家庭，或400萬到600萬人。為了聯絡這些民眾，洛杉磯縣和全國性民權組織「加州進步計劃」（Advancement Project California）已經找出了這些需要進行更多針對性工作的人口群體和地區。 西語裔和非裔人口的普查參與率目前分別為52.1%和55.1%。亞裔人口的平均參與率為66.2%，高於加州平均參與率62.1%，其中華裔、越南裔、菲律賓裔和日裔社區的參與率介於64%到70%之間，但是泰裔、柬埔寨裔和韓裔社區的參與率僅介於47.4%到56.9%之間。 需要更多宣導的低參與率地區包括洛杉磯南區、南灣（South Bay）、洛杉磯都會區、洛杉磯東南區和長灘。 田島表示，這些地區參與率低是由許多因素造成。在參與率最低的地區，五分之二的家庭沒有寬頻網路服務，半數以上的家庭住在多單位大樓裡，其中四分之三是租客。此外，家庭人口較多、高中畢業教育程度者較少、英語能力有限者較多，也是這些地區參與率低的原因。 雷德利湯瑪斯表示，正因為身處於這些艱難的環境中，參與人口普查對這些住在弱勢社區的民眾來說顯得尤其重要，只有參與人口普查，他們才能享受到聯邦提供的資金，有助於解決社會不平等的問題。 對提高人口普查參與率十分重要的挨家挨戶宣導工作，因為新冠疫情被迫延後，縣長辦公室2020年人口普查小組經理尤里貝（Avianna Uribe）表示，隨著加州各項經濟活動逐漸重啟，何時可以開始進行安全的人口普查挨家挨戶宣導，將由美國人口普查局決定。 目前，民眾仍然可以透過網路、電話和郵件填寫人口普查問卷。
