Decennial Census

The Decennial Census is a nationwide survey conducted every ten years in the United States to count every person living in the country. It aims to gather important demographic information, such as age, race, and household size. This data helps determine how many representatives each state gets in Congress and informs the distribution of federal funds for services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The most recent census took place in 2020, and the next will be in 2030. Accurate census data is crucial for effective governance and resource allocation in communities.
