2010 Census & Foundations
Getting an accurate census count is important for a couple of reasons:
- $300 billion in federal dollars, as well as billions of additional state dollars, are apportioned to local communities for health, education, transportation and other programs, based on census data.
- The reapportionment of legislative seats at the federal, state, and local levels are determined based on census data.
- Census data can be used for planning purposes, to understand population distribution and needs.
