The framers of the U.S. Constitution chose population to be the basis for sharing political power ― not wealth or land.

From Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution: "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers …"

A census aims to count the entire population of a country at the location where each person usually lives. The goal is to count everyone only once, and in the right place.

 Why should I take the Census?

It is important to participate in the 2020 Census because this is a way to make your voice matter! By filling out the Census survey you are letting the U.S. government know how many people are living in your city. The government uses this figure to determine how much federal money to give each state and how many representatives can go to Congress. By making yourself count, you are helping improve your community by ensuring your city and state have the appropriate number of representatives and money to provide resources and services for you and your neighbors. It is free, confidential and safe.
