What is the Census?

As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, our nation gets just one chance each decade to count its population. The U.S. census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities.

Is it Confidential? Absolutely!

The law requires the Census Bureau to keep your information confidential and use your responses only to produce statistics. The information cannot be released in any way that could identify you. Information would never be shared with any immigration enforcement agencies or law enforcement agencies. For more information, click here.
