What is the census?

The U.S. Constitution mandates that every 10 years, the U.S. government counts every
person residing in the United States through the census. The data collected is used to
inform political representation, the distribution of billions of dollars in federal funds, and
helps business and philanthropy make more informed decisions about investments in local
communities.
