Warrenville's Special Census: The Count is Complete

The City's Special Census count is complete. The U.S. Census Bureau will send the City a report this fall with our final population numbers.

Thank you for being counted!

We asked 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.

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.

The City's updated population data from the 2024 Special Census will be listed under a Special Census date of June 1, 2024.
