Census 2010
What is Census?
Every 10 years, the federal government, through the Census Bureau, counts the total number of people living in the U.S., including citizens, legal permanent residents, visitors, and undocumented immigrants. The census count determines the distribution of federal money to schools, hospitals, roads, job creation programs, etc. The census count also impacts a community’s political power by determining the number of House of Representatives a state will have.
