General Information
The key element of the Census count is determine how many people are living in a given location every ten years. The Census Bureau relies on residents to complete mailed forms before following up door-to-door, if necessary. The tallies are organized into smaller Census Block Groups and Census Tracts, which provide valuable data at a smaller scale. The final population counts determine new district boundaries for local, county, state and national representatives, which go through a redistricting process. For more information on the upcoming redistricting process in Georgetown, we’ve set up a page on this site, located here.
