All but 15 of Illinois’ counties lost population over the past ten years, according to the latest U.S. Census data released Thursday.
Census data released earlier this year was only by state totals, not data on a local level. The outcome for Illinois was the state losing one congressional seat because of population decline. More detailed data was released Thursday by the U.S. Census.
