Chicagoland NW Suburban IL Real Estate & News: Western Suburbs of Chicago Post High Responses to the 2010 Census

When we recently wrote about the census – this was before/as the forms were being mailed out. Well, some time has passed since then. More than a couple of months in fact!

Well, we have some exciting local news for you! – The results of the response levels for the census are in for our area and the news is exciting indeed!Bartlett did a great job.  After mailing in 80 percent or more of the forms — better than the state and national average — many towns are less likely to see door-to-door census-takers in the next few weeks. In fact Bartlett itself returned 84% of forms!

Remember that the Census is a count of everyone living in the United States. The first census was taken in 1790, and has been taken every 10 years since as mandated by the U.S. Constitution. The Census is important as it is required to order voting districts, Electoral College votes, allocation of Federal Aid and more and a response is required by law.

This time round, our delightful western suburbs like

Why did Bartlett return so many? Well, it is partly attributed to residents completing a special censuses that was taken in 2005 and 2007, in which the response was greater than 80 percent. Because the village of Bartlett used short forms to conduct the special censuses, people were better prepared for the similar form used this year.  Of course, this is the political system in action – for instance, a tenth of Illinois’ income tax is returned to cities and towns, and it is dispersed based on census population — money for every man, woman and child. So you are helping your community by responding accurately, and quickly!

Bartlett is a great place to call home and has been on the grow in the last few years so it is likely that this census will show an increase in population figures. With such great amenities and an attractive quality of life for its residents, it is hard not to see why many would choose to relocate to the area.
