At that time, residents of the United States and its five territories will be counted, marking the country’s 25th population count since 1790. The process involves sending out questionnaires to every household, which they can fill out online, by mail or by phone. The United States Census Bureau also employs door-to-door visits to ensure an accurate count, especially in hard-to-reach or undercounted communities. The data collected is used to determine representation in Congress and allocate federal funding, among other purposes.
