The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a census of population every 10 years, as mandated by the United States Constitution. These population data are used to determine the number of seats each State has in the House of Representatives, the voting district boundaries within the States, and the allocation of Government services. In addition, local governments and private industries use census information for a wide variety of applications. This map layer was compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.
