With just a couple weeks remaining until the deadline for completing 2020 U.S. Census forms, the response rate in East Cobb is among the highest in Cobb County.
According to a Cobb County government GIS map seen above, all but one Census tract in East Cobb are reporting response rates of 75 percent or higher.
That’s of Sept. 2, and that’s just the self-response rate. The Census Bureau has listings for all states in that category, and follow-up response rates that it adds to its cumulative total, that you can find here.
The Census bureau also has interactive maps that show the most recent updates for every Census tract (a screen grab is shown below), and some East Cobb census tracts have total response rates of higher than 80 percent and in some cases as high as 88 percent.

Georgia’s self-response rate is 60.8 percent as of Wednesday, and combined with the follow-up response rate now stands at 80.2 percent.
The states with the highest overall rates for the moment are Idaho (98.5 percent), West Virginia (97.7 percent), Washington (96.5 percent), Hawaii (96.1 percent) and Kansas (95.6 percent).
