U.S. Census Bureau

The U.S. Census Bureau is a division of the Department of Commerce responsible for collecting and analyzing data about the American population. It conducts the decennial census, a comprehensive survey of every household in the country, to gather information on demographics, housing, and economic factors. This data helps inform government policies, funding allocations, and business decisions. Beyond the census, the Bureau also conducts surveys on various social and economic topics, providing valuable insights into the nation's progress and needs. Its work is essential for understanding the makeup of the United States and planning for the future.
