In this Feb. 8, 2020, photo, people volunteer to get people registered to vote and a booth offering employment for the upcoming 2020 census stands in the background, during the celebration of the town's 45th year since it was incorporated, in Guadalupe, Ariz. Today, nearly a third of Guadalupe's 6,500 residents say they are Native American and about 75% of all races identify as Hispanic. A third also struggle with poverty in a community where the median annual household income is around $32,000 and the average owner-occupied home is valued at less than $90,000.
