2020 Decennial Census

 

About the Census

Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a census to determine the number of people living in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the census in years ending in zero, on Census Day, which is April 1.

The data collected by the decennial census are used to apportion the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.  The first U.S. census was in 1790 during the first term of our first president, George Washington. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson led the effort. The population was 3,929,625, and Congress used these results to apportion 105 seats among 15 states.

The census informs how billions of federal dollars reach communities over the 10 year cycle between counts, which can impact how much money is allocated to roads and highways, emergency services, parks, and other local services.  Representation in Congress is vital to for neighborhoods when it comes to housing, employment and healthcare. The Census helps policymakers make funding decisions, businesses make crucial hiring decisions, and researchers conduct new projects.
