Oglesby ahead of state average on census but behind 2010

Oglesby Meeting 7/20/20

OGLESBY – At the Monday night Oglesby city council meeting it was announced that the community is ahead of the state average in responding to the 2020 census. In the latest update the Illinois Public Health Association noted that statewide the response was at 66.9%, with Oglesby at 72.3%. However, this percentage is lower than the response in 2010. With the statewide population on decline, there is the realistic possibility that the state could lose a representative in the federal government and that Oglesby could lose funding of projects based upon their population.
