The 2020 Census has been ongoing for several months. While normally it would be concluding this month, the date has been extended to October 31st due to the ongoing pandemic. Unfortunately, Marietta has only seen 58.3 percent of our community respond. This is well below our hopes and expectations. Our population count is tied to funding for healthcare, education, transportation, and more. Each census response corresponds to $3,500 to our city and city schools. Additionally, our political representation and resource planning are also based upon this count.
If you have not already, please respond to the Census today at https://my2020census.gov/. All responses are confidential and protected by law. For more information about how the Census impacts our community, go to https://census2020marietta.com/.
If there are any questions about the Census, feel free to send people my way. Thank you in advance for your consideration and have a great day.
Best,
