The Sudden Increase in the U.S. Population: We have been talking about many other things happening in the USA for the past few days, but now let’s dive into some stats and facts about the population of the United States. Everyone might be aware that in the States, the census is conducted every 10 years but also, are you aware that it is required and made compulsory by the Constitution?

Now we understand that census plays quite a vital role in politics. One unique reason is that it determines the proportion of seats each state is awarded in the House of Representatives.
Getting the census is a challenging job. If done wrong, it can directly affect the country’s healthcare, education, housing, economy, and so much more. It is essential to be careful in getting this job done.
