About this user
Census only happens once every ten years the United States Constitution requires a headcount of every person residing in the US every 10 years, regardless of citizenship status. The census, unlike census initiatives in some other countries, is completely confidential and not shared with other governmental agencies. The information is only used in a general / statistical way for three major purposes:
1. To determine how the more than $400 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities every year. Thats more than $4 trillion dollars distributed over a 10-year period.
2. To guide local decision-makers in important community planning efforts. Census counts are directly tied to the federal dollars communities receive for important services such as education funding, affordable housing support, job training, social services, roads, bridges, and other community development opportunities.
3. To determine how many seats Georgia will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the redistricting of state legislatures, county and city councils, and voting districts based on the new census information.
