Census Challenge
July 7 - 17
Mayor Lightfoot is calling on all Chicagoans to participate in a Census Challenge. The ward that delivers the highest census response rate in the next 10 days will receive a ward-wide Ice Cream event! Take the census today at
My2020census.gov.
Currently, our ward has a self-response rate of 60.9%. Remember each person counted is worth $1400 in federal aid to our city - billions of dollars are at stake.
Today is week 17 of the Census Response Period. As of today, 18,170 households in our ward have responded to the 2020 Census. This means there are about 11,666 households which have not responded! Let's all participate in this opportunity to be counted -- and have a ward-wide Ice Cream event! Socially distanced, of course.
