Let's Make Sure We All Get Counted!

The Census is a Constitutionally mandated once-a-decade count of every person living in the United States. It helps us understand how well we are doing to eliminate inequalities and disproportionate outcomes that impact vulnerable populations.

The Census:

  • determines how almost $800 billion in federal programs are allocated to states, localities, and families every year
  • tells state and local officials, community leaders how to invest in current and future needs for health care, education, housing, food and income security, rural access to broadband, and other services. Guides private-sector investments in new jobs, new facilities, and marketing
  • Is used to determine the number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and how many electoral votes each state will have for the following decade
