About the Special Census

The Village of Plainfield requested a Special Census to reflect the significant growth our community has experienced since the 2020 Census. In recent years, Plainfield has added new homes, residents, and development, and current estimates indicate the population has increased by approximately 10 percent.

The Special Census ensures our community is accurately counted ahead of the next decennial census in 2030. The updated population count helps Plainfield receive its fair share of state and federal funding, which supports essential services such as public safety, infrastructure, and other municipal services.
