Every 10 years, everyone living in the US gets counted in the census. This count helps determine where more than $675 billion in federal funds are directed each year to support education, health care, firefighting services, and more.
Disaster recovery efforts rely on Census Bureau data while emergency planners use the data to plan for the worst.
The number of Congressional representatives each state will have is also determined through census date.
