Illinois Census 2000
“We already know from previous numbers released by the Census Bureau that Illinois’ population grew by almost a million people over the last 10 years. With this latest information we’ll have a better understanding of the ethnic diversity of the state’s residents and the patterns of growth in communities across Illinois.” – Governor George H. Ryan
The U.S. Census Bureau has delivered Illinois’ Census 2000 Population Totals for Redistricting
The data will be used by government officials to realign Congressional, State and local voting districts, taking into account population shifts since the 1990 Census and assuring equal representation in compliance with the “one person, one vote” principle of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Race
As the result of revised standards for collecting data on race and ethnicity issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1997, Census 2000 was the first national census in which the instructions for respondents said, "Mark one or more races."
Race
In 1990, five categories were used to tabulate race. In the 2000 Census, the race categories were broadened and, for the first time, multiple race selections were allowed. This resulted in six single race categories and 57 combinations of more than one race. As a result, comparisons by race between 1990 and 2000 must be considered through a range, between those who selected a single race and those who identified themselves as more than one race.
Black or African-American Trends
Illinois’ Black or African American population in 1990 was 1,694,273. 2000 figures reflect a range between 1,876,875 (those who chose only Black or African-American) and 1,937,671 (those who chose Black or African-American only or in combination with any other race or races).

Conclusions
“The growth in Illinois’ population, particularly compared to other Midwestern states, is reflective of the strong economy, high quality of life, and outstanding universities and research centers available to Illinois residents. This larger and more diverse population also provides us with a broader workforce to help fuel continued economic growth.” - Pam McDonough, DCCA Director
