WHY IS THE CENSUS SO IMPORTANT?
WHY IS THE CENSUS SO IMPORTANT?
What Is The Census And Why Is It Essential?
Everyone Counts
The census counts every person living in the U.S. once, only once, and in the right place.
Fair Divisions
Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets.
It’s in the Constitution
The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years. The first census was in 1790.
It’s about $675 billion
The distribution of more than $675 billion in federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities are based on census data. That money is spent on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs.
Take part in your civic duty
Completing the census is mandatory: it’s a way to participate in our democracy and say “I COUNT!”
