Census Bureau (USA)

The U.S. Census Bureau is a government agency responsible for collecting and analyzing data about the American population. It conducts a national census every ten years, counting every person living in the country. This information helps determine how federal and state funds are allocated, dictates representation in Congress, and informs various social services and policies. In addition to the census, the Bureau conducts surveys on topics like business, housing, and health, providing valuable insights into demographics, economics, and community needs across the United States.
