What is the Census?
The census' main goal is to count the entire population of the United States as well as its five territories, and to see at which locations each person usually resides. This information is used in order to determine what aid should be provided to communities and how many seats each state should have in the House of Representatives.
How Does the Census Impact Me?
The census provides data that is critical to lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many other groups who provide daily services and support for you and your local community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources, all based on census data.
