About the 2010 Census
To get the fair political representation and services our communities need for a stronger future, we first have to understand who we are as a
nation. That's why there's a census..
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, and takes place every 10
years. The data collected by the census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. State and local
governments also use the census to define political jurisdictions including Congressional districts, state legislatures, city or county councils, and
school board districts ensuring fair representation at every level of government.
But it doesn't stop there. Census data are used to distribute billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities for services every year,
including:
Emergency services
Healthcare services
In Language Job Training Centers
Schools
Roads
Senior centers and much more
The 2010 Census was the largest civic participation movement ever witnessed in our country. In March of 2010, a short 10question form was
delivered to every household in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Approximately 74 percent of the households returned their census form by mail; the
remaining households were counted by census workers walking neighborhoods throughout the United States.
