We ask all residents to participate in the 2024 Special Census, even if they participated in the 2020 Census. Why? So the City will have an accurate population count.
How the special census works:
Field workers go door-to-door June 10 through July 12:
Census Bureau Field Workers follow up with residents who did not fill out the online survey in May. Many field workers live in Warrenville, and they will go door-to-door in neighborhoods daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., including weekends. They will wear a badge, and they will show you their badge when you answer the door.
The field workers received background checks from the Warrenville Police Department. Please open the door for them and help your City!
- Staff will leave call back notes with field rep and regional office number after going to doors 3 times. (See sample Special Census questionnaire, call back notes and ID badge below)
Quality assurance phase June 20-July 12:
Field representatives will verify information in some neighborhoods/households for quality control. Residents might see a field representative standing in front of a home to verify the address. A field representative may knock on a resident's door and ask the resident to verify the information they provided on the census. A field representative might come to the door and ask, "Will you be living at this address as of June 1, 2024?" This is all part of the special census process.
Why does the special census matter? 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. Census data also helps the City plan for the future.
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.
What does the Census cover?
Residents fill out a short list of questions about their name, age, sex, race, and housing structure.
Everyone counts! We ask all residents to take part in the Special Census. Responding is important, easy, and quick - your response only takes 10 minutes!
