Funding for the U.S. Census
The Census Bureau is the premier source of demographic and economic data on every facet of
our nation’s population and communities. The agency produces annual data that are used by
federal and state agencies to determine the allocation of hundreds of billions of dollars in
government funding and by the private sector to inform key investment and other business
decisions. Further, census population numbers are used to apportion seats in Congress,
influencing the foundation of our democracy.
