8 ways communities rely on the 2020 Census. Story from uscensusbureau
Elections come and go, but every 10 years residents answer a call that rivals any civic duty in the political landscape. The U.S. Census is an opportunity for every household in America to stand and be counted, but each must make its presence known.
Introduced in the first few sentences of the U.S. Constitution to make sure taxes and representation match the populations of each state, the census has taken a count of the nation’s population once a decade since 1790. Now, the 2020 Census promises to be the most high-tech count yet. Its outcome will determine 10 years of decisions about resources and priorities across the U.S. and shape what local governments, researchers and businesses know about the country.Families, businesses and communities are only as strong as the connections they share. It takes a lot to get people and things where they’re going, but how much? And where?. Meanwhile, state and local leaders use the once-in-a-decade count for decisions about everything from road maintenance to bus schedules.
