The United States Census Bureau, officially the Bureau of the Census, is a federal statistical agency responsible for producing data about the American people and economy, under the United States Department of Commerce. The bureau's director is appointed by the president of the United States. The Census Bureau's primary mission is conducting the United States census every ten years, which allocates the seats of the United States House of Representatives to the states based on their population. The bureau's various censuses and surveys help allocate over $675 billion in federal funds every year and it assists states, local communities, and businesses in making informed decisions. The information provided by the census informs decisions on where to build and maintain schools, hospitals, transportation infrastructure, and police and fire departments. More information...
