There are more encouraging census numbers for the city of Syracuse, but there is still more to be done.

Thanks in part to Census Push Week, the city saw the self-response rate jump to 50.1 percent.

That's in line, if not above, most cities across the state.

The census numbers are directly tied to federal funding and decisions made over the next ten years.

The self-response period runs until August 11.

After that point, census takers will begin knocking on doors to get a more accurate number.
