Why it Matters


Once a decade, the census counts our population and households, providing the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting and distributing federal funds.

  • Each year, more than $675 billion is distributed based on census numbers.
  • These dollars impact everything from housing to education and health care.
  • Census 2020 will drive decisions until 2031.
