2010 United States Census

The 2010 United States Census was a comprehensive count of the U.S. population conducted by the government every ten years. It gathered detailed information about residents across the country, including age, race, ethnicity, housing, and household size. The data helps determine federal funding distribution, political representation, and policy planning. The census was conducted primarily through mailed questionnaires, with follow-up interviews for non-respondents. Accurate counting ensures communities receive appropriate resources and representation, making it a vital tool for understanding demographic changes and supporting government decision-making nationwide.
