According to the United States Census Bureau, “When you respond to the census, you help your community gets its fair share of the more than $675 billion per year in federal funds spent on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs. Businesses use census data to decide where to build factories, offices and stores, and this creates jobs.” It is also important for apportionment for representation in the United States Congress, and for redistricting of boundaries for elected offices, such as State Senates and Assemblies, and local Legislatures.
