A census is the gathering of information about all the people in a particular country or region. Taking censuses is an old tradition. For example, in ancient Rome, the government would periodically count all the citizens and evaluate their property in order to see how much tax a person should pay. And you know my dear that This information is used for many purposes. First, it is used to allocate elected seats, not only in the House of Representatives, but in the state legislatures. In addition, all levels of government — federal, state, local and tribal — use census data as a guide for spending money on many different programs and services. At the federal level alone, the spending of well over $100 billion a year depends on census data.
