Congressman Krishnamoorthi Responds To Census Release On Illinois Population

SCHAUMBURG, IL - Congressman Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement following a U.S. Census Bureau release claiming Illinois' population had declined.

“The Census Bureau’s latest population estimates (and the opportunistic bashing of our state) only raise the question of why the Census Bureau’s own analysis in 2022 found that its projections had been wrong, and Illinois’ population actually grew to a new high.  We continue to be interested in the answers because until we can figure them out, we will be left without a proper accounting of what went wrong in the 2020 Census, and how Illinois can get a fairer share of federal resources.”
