Our Census count resulted in a total of 13,217 residents (March 1, 2018).
Our information has been submitted to a local agency for Verification, as required by the State. That agency (Memphis Area Assoc. of Governments) will next do a one-day, door-to-door verification in mid-April. They are only required to verify 10% of our count, and those chosen are randomly selected.

Here are a few facts about the Special Census:
- This is a Town of Arlington Special Census, not a Federal Census
- The State of Tennessee provides revenue to cities based on their population. Due to Arlington’s growth, we believe the Town should receive more revenue from the State.
- The Special Census will help the Town get its fair share of taxes our citizens already pay to the State.
- Whether you own a home or rent, every Town of Arlington resident counts.
- Children who are away at college count too!
Based on recent building permit data, we anticipated that Arlington's population may now exceed 13,500 residents. Our final count was 13,217; however, there were still a couple hundred homes that did not provide any feedback. Regardless, that increase should result in Town receiving an additional $140,000 per year of state revenue, which is important to all of us who live and work here.
