U.S. Census

The U.S. Census is a comprehensive survey conducted every ten years by the federal government to count all residents in the United States. It gathers data on age, sex, race, housing, and other demographic information. This information helps allocate government resources, determine political representation, and inform policy decisions. Participation is essential, as the data influences funding for schools, infrastructure, and social programs. The Census aims to provide an accurate picture of the nation’s population and ensure that communities receive appropriate support and representation.
