Census information is used for just about everything, including some very important things such as:
  • Determining the number of seats each state will have in the House of Representatives
  • Allocating federal funds for community programs and services
  • Determining where to locate banks, offices, factories, theaters, and shopping centers
  • Planning and allocating funds for building schools, libraries, transportation systems, roads and bridges, police departments and fire departments
