The numbers are alarming...Illinois is losing people at a staggering rate, and this graph shows you exactly how many people have left your county in the last year.
The data was released and Illinois saw a population loss in 2023, making it 10 straight years of population loss here in the Land of Lincoln, will it finally turn around in 2024?
With a loss of over 100,000 residents in the last 9 years, and a steady population decrease over the last 5 years, 2020's census will probably cost us a seat.
