The demographics of Frisco is important to be considered by the committee when identifying potential barriers. DISCUSSION ITEMS 4. Frisco Demographics 5. Potential Barriers or Concerns The Response Outreach Area Mapper (ROAM) application developed by the U.S. Census Bureau was presented to the committee, which shows that the areas along the Dallas North Tollway and Collin County campus have a low response score. In addition to these low response areas, barriers discussed included language challenges, senior citizens adapting to the new online form, reaching Collin County college students, and response rates from renter- occupied units. 6. Ways to Address or Overcome Barriers The committee discussed the importance of using online sources to spread awareness, since the 2020 Census will be available online. The committee will utilize the database of emails and contacts that each affiliated organization already has; for example, the City of Frisco Communications department, the Chamber of Commerce, and Frisco ISD already have many subscribers to their online newsletters. In order to reach the populations that are not online, the committee suggested marketing in brick-and-mortar places, such as the Frisco’s Library, medical centers, and churches throughout Frisco. 7. Identify Goals and Objectives for Committee The committee identified the following goals: • Identify different regions with barriers • Create a timeline • Be consistent with messaging 8. Topics for Future Discussion 9. Scheduling of Future Meetings Next meeting will be on October 9, 2019.
