Help Newton County improve its community by counting yourself in the 2020 Census.

“The 2020 Census is vital to our Newton County community,” Sheriff Brown said. “I encourage each citizen to allocate ten minutes of their time while self-isolating to go online and complete the 2020 Census questionnaire. Your household matters. Making yourself count will provide funding that will help us progress further and build a better future for Newton County.”
