The final census count, according to Arnold Harbolt, the contractor hired to perform the census, was 11,564, with an increase of 542 city residents over the previous census in 2016 of 11,022.
The Crossville Special Census has been concluded and will be submitted for verification to the Upper Cumberland Development District.
Harbolt also told the council that the list of 5,909 addresses he was originally given had some problems. He added that the total occupied addresses were actually 5,319. The total population includes 91 occupants in group homes.

The amount budgeted for the census was $50,000 and the cost of the census was $35,104 with the cost of certification at $1656.40 for a total cost of $36,760.46. The project came in well under the budget of $50,000 for the census.
The current amount of state shared taxes per person in the City of Crossville is $112.86 and based on the additional population of 542, the first year an additional estimated revenue amount of $61,170.12 is expected. In addition, that amount is expected to continue and possibly rise for the next 4 years. The total increase in revenue is estimated to be around $244,000. Council member J. H. Graham said the census that he had spearheaded was more than worth the cost.
