What's at Stake?
Census data determines how communities are funded and represented. It shapes the allocation of resources for schools, healthcare, transportation, language access, disaster recovery, economic development, and more. Congressional seats are also distributed based on the census count, and the data serves as critical evidence in proving discrimination. When communities are undercounted, they lose their fair share of both resources and representation.
