His comments came in the wake of estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau last week that say that Aurora lost about 3,000 people between 2020 and 2023.
Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, seen here delivering his State of the City address in 2022, said on Tuesday the city is “absolutely pursuing a special census recount” after recent estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau say that Aurora has lost population. Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin Tuesday night repeated criticism of the U.S.
The numbers are part of estimates the bureau does from time to time in the 10 years between decennial official counts. The bureau said Aurora’s population went from about 180,000 in 2020 to about 177,000 in 2023. He said he was “extremely disappointed, thoroughly disgusted and ultimately dismayed” that the bureau would make estimates based on what he believes is an undercount from the decennial census of 2020.
City officials applied in March 2023 for the recount, the earliest any entity could apply. They thought that special census would be taking place by now, and amended the 2023 budget to include $800,000 to pay for it.
