Tukwila successfully ends 2020
Census with increase from 2010
The 2020 US Census Bureau wrapped up its enumeration process on October
15, 2020. The City of Tukwila successfully ended the 2020 Census with an
increase of 4.2% from 2010, with a final count at 68.2%. Overall, King County's
self -response rate ended at 76.4%, with an increase of 6.1 % from 2010, and
the US national average ended at 67%.
Congratulations, Tukwila, on the increase. Of course, in ten years you will be
tasked once again to self -respond to the 2030 Census. The City's goal: to
surpass this year's number. We have a long stretch of time to continue working
on our partnerships with neighbors, businesses, community members, youth
and faith -based organizations, to ensure the City fully benefits from this
important civic exercise.
The 2021 application is now available for Tukwila's City of Opportunity
Scholarship
In 2014, the City created a scholarship program for high school students living
in Tukwila. Its purpose: providing financial assistance and opportunity to
deserving students for continuing their education beyond high school. We are
taking applications from those enrolled for undergraduate study in community
colleges, colleges, trade schools, and universities.
Selection criteria includes, but is not limited to, residency in Tukwila,
academic accomplishments, community service, references, financial need,
and personal essay. To see the complete list of eligibility requirements, and to
download the application, go to II uullmii_VAVC// >u,av/ : Ihnuay_ sir aIlaji_Ira.. The deadline to
submit scholarship applications is March 31, 2021 — no exceptions.
