I ran into this issue during development (production was using Nginx and serving from /static_cdn folder without any issues).

The solution came from the Django docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-during-development

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
