Held every 10 years, the Census is a nationwide head count of every person living in the United States. During the last two censuses, the Census Bureau missed counting millions of people – mostly minorities and low-income communities. Undercounting certain populations may reduce federal funding for hospitals, education, child-care, disaster preparation – as well as fair representation in Congress.
