Marion County has the 9th best 2020 Census self-response rate of 72.7% in Iowa.

According to the latest data from the US Census Bureau, Iowa has the fourth best response rate in the nation behind Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Deputy Regional Director Ellisa Johnson for the U.S. Census Bureau Chicago Region says the population count has a far reaching impact on the community; it affects businesses, city planning, school district planning, and overall enthusiasm if the region is considered a growing community, so participation is important.

Those who have not responded should have received mail correspondence recently to complete the survey online, and census takers will be going through communities to ensure every person is counted.
