Lemont Officials Remind Residents To Complete Census

LEMONT, IL—Village officials are reminding residents to complete their census application as soon as possible.

"The less households that get counted this census, the less funding we get in Illinois!" village officials said on their official Facebook page.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.

The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts.

Completing the census is easy and takes approximately ten minutes to complete. You have three options to complete it:

• Online: https://my2020census.gov/
• Phone: 1-844-330-2020
• Mail: Complete your questionnaire you received in March and return it to the U.S. Census Bureau
