All that's going on in our nation is a reminder of how important it is that Cobb County has a thorough and accurate 2020 Census count, so the appropriate funds and resources are available to our community. The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade.

Census results impact us in many ways, including Head Start programs, school lunches, plans for highways, affordable housing and support for firefighters and families in need.

While we are sheltering in place at home, let's take a few minutes to complete the 2020 Census. It has never been easier to respond on your own, whether online, over the phone or by mail—all without having to meet a census taker. Please respond to the census today.
