Dear Pingree Grove Residents:
It’s Time! The Village has been preparing for the 2024 Special Census and the time is here! The U.S. Census Bureau will begin mailing instructions to each village household on how to complete the
Village of Pingree Grove 2024 Special Census survey using the internet self-response process. Your mailing will include a 12-digit ID that you will use to begin your survey once registered. The Special Census survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete online.
The Special Census internet self-response period is March 29 - April 23. From May 9 – May 31, Field Representatives from the U.S. Census Bureau will begin in-person data collection visits to those households who did not respond online. Your cooperation in completing the survey via the self-reporting process is preferable; however, we understand that some may be unable to do so.
When conducting the online Special Census survey, it is important to note that your address may appear as being in Hampshire, IL. Please disregard the town name and verify the correctness of your house number and street name. The U.S. Census Bureau utilizes a specific census geography in pinpointing census locations, and Hampshire is the geographic area used in our Special Census.
The significance of this Special Census to our community cannot be overstated. A substantial portion of Pingree Grove's funding from both Federal and State governments hinges on population figures. With the surge in new home constructions since the 2020 Census, it becomes imperative to ensure that every resident is accurately accounted for. By achieving a comprehensive count, we pave the way for securing essential resources that directly influence our daily lives, encompassing vital services such as infrastructure maintenance, park facilities, water supply, waste management, law enforcement, and more!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Village Municipal Center at (847) 464-5533. Thank you for your participation in helping Pingree Grove Count!
Sincerely,
Amber Kubiak
Village President
