The U.S. Census Bureau will conduct a special census in Warrenville in the spring of 2024 to get an updated population count. This new count may help us qualify for state revenues we need to help keep our local and property taxes reasonable and provide essential services we depend on every day.
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 will the Special Census work?
Now through March 2024: The U.S. Census Bureau will hire field representatives. Those representatives will help collect data. They will visit Warrenville homes and interview residents for the survey. Learn more and apply at: usajobs.gov/job/752213900
