Every 10 years the Census Bureau sends out a survey, the decennial census, to every listed household in America in efforts to count every person and collect accompanying information on them. Required by the Constitution, the population numbers determine the amount of representatives and federal funding states will receive for their citizens. The Census Bureau accounts for every person, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
