2020 Census

The 2020 Census was a nationwide survey conducted every ten years to count all residents in the United States. It gathers demographic information such as age, sex, race, and housing details to understand population size and characteristics. The data helps government agencies allocate resources, plan public services, and determine political representation. Conducted primarily online, with options for phone or mail, the census aims to provide an accurate snapshot of the U.S. population to support informed decision-making for the next decade.
