What You Need to Know About Census Data
Every 10 years, the United States Census Bureau conducts a survey of the entire American population, gathering the total number of residents and detailed information about a representative sample. By doing this, the United States Census offers a wealth of data on the demographics of our country. This also includes data on election behaviors and data that is used in election processes.
