Welcome! With this survey, we're seeking your feedback to guide the Rockdale County Housing Assessment Survey.

The housing survey touches many of the priority issues. The goal of the housing assessment is to provide residents, staff, and elected officials with detailed information about the Rockdale County Housing market that they can use to make actionable steps that address housing challenges. The housing survey will allow the city to best plan for new families, appropriate mix of housing options and accessible senior housing that allows residents to age in place.
