The census tells us who we are and where we are going as a nation.
The census helps our communities determine where to build everything
from schools to supermarkets, and from homes to hospitals. It helps
the government decide how to distribute funds and assistance to states
and localities. It is also used to draw the lines of legislative
districts and reapportion the seats each State holds in Congress.
