(65 ILCS 5/1-7-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 1-7-2)
Sec. 1-7-2. Whenever in this Code any provision thereof is based upon the
number of inhabitants, the number of inhabitants of the municipality shall
be determined by reference to the latest census taken by authority of the
United States or this state, or of that municipality. It is the duty of the
Secretary of State, upon the publication of any state or United States
census or the certification of any municipal census referenced under Section 1-7-1, to certify to each municipality the number of inhabitants, as shown
by that census. In the event that a partial census is conducted pursuant to Section 1-7-1, the Secretary of State shall certify the total number of inhabitants of the municipality as the number reflected by the last complete census of the municipality adjusted by the net increase or decrease reflected by the partial census. And the several courts in this state shall take judicial
notice of the population of any municipality, as the population appears
from the latest federal, state, or municipal census so taken, certified, and adjusted.
