The 2020 Census determines congressional representation, the number of seats each state has in the House of Representatives, and the dividing lines of congressional and state legislative districts. It determines where our money is needed, and the results influence funding of billions of dollars. It gives us a snapshot of the nation and provides details and statistics on who we are, where we live, where we work, our income and much more. Since a Census is taken every ten years, Its data will impact communities for the next decade.
During this time, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical decisions. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children.
