A survey conducted by Telemundo and Ipsos Public Afairs found that 8 out of 10 Hispanics plan on participating in the census this year.  57% of the respondents said they are confident that their personal information will not be shared with other government agencies.  I found it interesting that Hispanics who prefer Spanish-language television shows were more likely (42%) to believe their information will only be used for the census than viewers who prefer to watch in English (31%).

The Census Bureau is running a campaign in 28 languages to raise awareness of the census.  This effort is necessary: 18% of Latinos surveyed had never heard of the census vs. 11% of adults in the general population.
