Lonoke County is at 69% on the census. If you have not yet done your census you have a little more time to get it done. The census is important for a number of reasons. These numbers will determine money received by the county and even cities for things like roads, schools, medical, etc. This information is also what is used by future generations to find their family background information. Complete the census now and help get Lonoke County to 100%.
