Georgia Exceeds 2000 Census Results

Posted by: Alice Kim In: News

In 2000, Georgia returned 69% responses via mail.  In 2010, Georgia mail back response rate was 71%.  This is a bigger accomplishment than it may appear especially in times of decreasing responses to mail surveys, an increased population, including increased minority population, and a growing distrust of the government.  North Georgia counties had a higher overall response rate than counties in South Georgia.   The counties including metro-Atlanta are as appears below.

Cobb County:  72%

DeKalb County:  68%

Fulton County:  67%

Gwinnett County:  70%

Welcome to the ACCC

Welcome to the Asian Complete Count Committee of Georgia's website! Particularly in the past ten years since the last Census, thousands of Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs) are making Georgia their new home. Georgia now has the second fastest growing API population in the United States.

With this exponential increase, it is absolutely critical that we work together to get every single Asian Pacific Islander, refugee and ethnic-minority to complete their simple, 10-question Census form when it is mailed to them in March 2010.

Please learn more about why Census is important, see what others in our diverse API community are saying and doing to promote the Census, and find ways to get involved.

You absolutely count, and together we can be sure that our entire API community in Georgia counts!!
