Illinois 2020 Census Office Next Steps: The Census Office is in the process of closing out the 2020 Census program which entails various steps including but not limited to:
- receiving and reviewing individual grantee final program and fiscal reports;
- final grantee contract close out;
- drafting and editing of final FY 20 and FY21 census program reports;
- drafting of the final fiscal report for the overall program operations; and
- applying Census lessons learned to IDHS programs involving community work and hard-to-reach populations.
Thank you to every partner, organization, municipality, ambassador, and all of the Illinois residents who completed the 2020 Census. Because of you Illinois ranks seventh overall in the country and 1st in the nation among the top ten most populous states for 2020 Census self-response!
A final self-response rate report has been posted to the Census Office website. A comprehensive Census Office report will be posted in the spring of 2021.
