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.
