everyone counts in weakley county

Once per decade, America comes together to count every resident in the United States, creating national awareness of the importance of the census and its valuable statistics. The census not only counts our population and households, it provides the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities’ vital programs — impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy.  

The next census kicks off on April 1, 2020.  Data collected in the U.S. Census brings the right amount of federal money to your local community for local programs that help you and your neighbors. For every household that doesn’t get counted, we lose $39,000 over a 10-year period.

Count Me In Weakley is Weakley County, Tennessee's Census 2020 awareness campaign to educate residents about the importance of being counted in the 2020 Census, and how to be counted. This site will keep you informed as we get closer to April 1, 2020.
