Analyzing Benefits for Multiple Audiences

The U$.$S$.$ Census Bureau lists these benefits from cooperating with the census:

$$Census information affects the numbers of seats your state occupies in the U$.$S$.$ House of Representatives. And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.

$$When you do the math, it$$s easy to see what an accurate count of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure. More services. A brighter tomorrow for everyone. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $$400$ billion of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like:

Hospitals

Job$-$training centers

Schools

Senior centers

Bridges, tunnels and other public works projects

Emergency services$15$
