What do you think is the purpose of the U.S. Census, which takes place every 10 years?

 In early 2010, the U.S. Census completed its 23rd operation. You may remember some of the public announcements, or your own participation in answering Census questions. Go to the U.S. Census website and read more about its operations and purpose before participating in discussion with your classmates. Please respond to all of the following prompts:

• What do you think is the purpose of the U.S. Census, which takes place every 10 years?
• What are some of the variables recorded for the U.S. population?
• How are these variables useful? Could the U.S. Census be made more useful? Add your references and check your spelling. Thanks
