The census is sent out every 10 years. It is very important. It is used to report the number of people who live in the United States. The count is required in the U.S constitution. Government uses the data to make funding decisions for more than 300 billion dollars each year including public transportation, and college grant and loan programs.
For example Rochester N.Y. has many hospitals. The reason for that is Rochester is very populated. Bloomfeild will probably not have a hospital ever because it has a low population. The census is a questionaire that all citizens must take. They are taken in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam , and American Somoa.
