Bowie, Help Us Reach a 100% Census Response Rate
Bowie, we’re almost there! Did you know 21.6% of Bowie residents still have not responded to the census? That number may not seem like a lot, but it adds up to millions of dollars that the city could lose. Each resident counted on the census means another $18,500 in funding over a ten year period for community programs, road repairs, public transport, Medicaid, and more. Let’s make every dollar count.

Fill out your 2020 Census today. If you have already filled it out, reach out to remind your friends, families, and neighbors.

Current Bowie response rate: 82.9%
Response rate ranking in MD: #16 (University Park is #1 in MD)
Response rate ranking in the US: #541 (North River, ND is #1 in the US w/ 100%)

Get Lost in a Great Book with a "Celebrity" Reader

Bowie has teamed up with some local readers to provide a series of Read Aloud videos for our youngest residents. We hope you will enjoy seeing some familiar faces and have fun exploring some new books or getting reacquainted with some old favorites. We have launched this effort with five book readings that are available now; please check back often as we will be adding more books soon. We will also be adding craft “how to” videos to go with some of the books. For more information, visit the Read Aloud webpage.
