A Brief Overview of the Census
In March of 2010 the United States Census Bureau is distributing questionnaires to every household in the country. All residents in the United States must be counted.
A census has been taken since 1790, as mandated by our constitution to apportion seats in the House of Representatives. The Census information collected helps to determine how $400 billion annually is allocated across the country for neighborhood improvements, public health, education, and transportation. |
