Every 10 years, the United States conducts its decennial census and the 2010 Census is currently well underway. The census, which is mandated by the U.S. Constitution, determines the apportionment of the House of Representatives amongst the states. Census data are also used for redistricting representative boundaries from school boards to state representatives. The Federal government uses census data to allocate more than $435 Billion each year. This briefing will provide a status of census operations in the region. We will learn how county and local governments can participate in the "Take 10" challenge. The 2010 Census, "It's In Our Hands."
