The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. The 2010 Census will be used to help determine federal funding and the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
For information on how Hennepin County is working to get a complete count of our residents, go to the our Census 2010 website.
The Hennepin Gallery exhibit this month depicts the impact of the census on community growth and resources. If you wonder how the census really matters, check out this exhibit.
