The City of Aurora is set to undergo a Special Census beginning on July 22, 2026. This initiative, which serves as a count of the City's population held outside of the normal Census, is critical to restoring key City funding. Census funds assist the City in providing road maintenance, street salt, public safety personnel, special events, and more! Addresses in the Special Census Area will begin receiving mailers from the Census Bureau on July 23, 2026. The first two mailings, scheduled to take place on July 23 and July 29, will be LETTERS, while the last two mailings, scheduled to take place on August 5 and August 14, will be POSTCARDS. Each letter and postcard will contain a unique 12-digit code, along with information on how to participate in the "Internet Self-Response" (ISR) period, which runs from July 22 through August 24, 2026. Once the ISR period ends, Census workers will begin going door-to-door to collect information from addresses that did not respond. We need your help, Aurora, to establish a more accurate population count, leading to a restoration of key funding and expansion of services to the City's growing community!
