Census rates still lagging

By Rebecca Feldhaus

Montgomery County, TN – Clarksville and Montgomery County Tennessee census response rates are still lagging while local groups continue to promote the constitutional requirement. The county leads the city by a two percent margin with a 63 percent return. This matches the national return rate, but falls just short of Tennessee's 65 percent state return rate. The Fifth Ward Missionary Baptist Church and the city of Clarksville are co-sponsoring a "party in the park," Saturday Dixon Park to boost responses.
