Warrenville’s special census open through May 23
The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a special census April 30 through May 23 for Warrenville. All residents must respond to the 2024 Special Census, even if they participated in the 2020 Census so the city will have an accurate population count.
Accurate population numbers make the city eligible for more state and federal money. This helps fund city services such as street repair, public safety, and more.
The 2020 Census reported Warrenville’s population as 13,553. But the 2020 census did not get data from several newer developments. This includes residents of Everton, Lexington Trace, Arden, Westlyn, and Riverview West.
The city estimates an accurate population count could result in $244,528 of revenue each year. This includes three taxes distributed by the state: income tax, local use tax, and motor fuel tax.
How the special census works:
April 30-May 23: The Special Census becomes available online. The Census Bureau will send letters and postcards to residents with the survey link.
May 23 through July 12: Field representatives visit residents who did not fill out the census online. Field reps will go door-to-door to daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., including weekends.
Responding to the special census is important, easy, and quick — it only takes 10 minutes!
