2010 Census

The 2010 Census was a nationwide count of every person living in the United States, conducted every ten years by the U.S. Census Bureau. It collected data on population size, distribution, age, sex, race, and housing. This information helps governments allocate resources, draw congressional districts, and plan public services. The 2010 Census was notable for being primarily conducted through mailed questionnaires, with follow-up enumerations for non-respondents. Accurate census data is essential for fair representation and informed decision-making at federal, state, and local levels.
