If your Murfreesboro household has not filled out and returned the Special Census form by mail or online, the City encourages you to 'Be Murfreesboro, Be Counted.' The City of Murfreesboro is distributing a second mailing of a Special Census form to residents who failed to respond or possibly didn't receive the first mailing in October. To date, the City has received approximately 33 percent of household responses.
The population of Murfreesboro was last certified in 2011 by the State of Tennessee at 109,031. The City of Murfreesboro is conducting a Special Census to certify the city's growth in population.
The census survey is available in electronic form online at www.murfreesborotn.gov/census. Residents who have not responded will receive a census packet containing their special code for entering the information electronically. Residents will need their 6-digit code to enter information. The code will be in the packet being mailed from the City. A pre-paid postage card will also be included in the packet for residents that would rather mail the information to the City of Murfreesboro.
"This is the first year the City of Murfreesboro has allowed respondents to fill-out the information electronically online," said Planning Director Gary Whitaker. "We appreciate the significant number of residents who have taken advantage of online responses to the Special Census."
