The U.S. Census Bureau conducted the Special Census at the City’s request due to significant residential growth occurring since the 2020 decennial census. On April 9, 2026, the U.S. Census Bureau issued a Director’s Letter confirming the official results of the Special Census. The certified population for the City of Tiffin is 7,577 residents, with a certified housing unit count of 3,394. This represents an increase of 3,065 residents compared to the 2020 Census population of 4,512. State agencies require the updated population figures to be certified by resolution at the local level before they can be used for state funding formulas and administrative purposes. Approval of the resolution allows the City to formally submit the certified Special Census results to the Iowa Secretary of State and the Treasurer of the State of Iowa. Recommendation It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2026-029, certifying the 2025 Special Federal Census for the City of Tiffin to the Iowa Secretary of State and the Treasurer of the State of Iowa.
