Summary

Every 10 years, the US government conducts a census to get an accurate count of everyone living within our borders. But with only a month to go before the deadline, Austin's census response rate is still pretty low.

Action Items

Take the census... and then volunteer to help your fellow Austinites fill out the census as well.

This post is sponsored by the Austin/Travis County Complete Count Committee (a collaborative effort between local government & community groups to ensure everyone in Austin gets counted for the 2020 census). All Austin Common sponsors are screened by The Austin Common team to ensure they’re doing good for their employees, customers, our community, and the planet.

65.4  percent. 

 

That’s how many Austinites have filled out the census… and we’re only a month away from the deadline. 

 

Why is this such a big deal? Because every 10 years, the US government conducts a census to get an accurate count of everyone living within our borders (regardless of citizenship status or age). That data is then used to make some big decisions, including how much money Austin receives in federal funding for schools, health care, & other social programs.
