Census 2020 deadline has been extended

Due to the pandemic, the Census 2020 deadline has been extended. Austell's response rate is lagging behind the Cobb County average. Critical funding for education, healthcare, employment, roads, community spaces, and representation (to name a few) is determined by the number of people in a city. We do not want to lose this funding that Austell needs. Please challenge friends and neighbors to complete the Census by visiting

2020Census.gov or by calling 844.330.2020.

For more information about the Response Rate in your area, please visit https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html
