very 10 years, every
person in the United
States gets counted. The
count, called the census, is required
by the U.S. Constitution. It lets the
government know how many people
live in the United States, including
citizens and non-citizens.

One of the main reasons for the
census is to be sure that each state is
represented fairly in Congress. The
number of representatives that can be
elected from each state depends upon
how many people live in that state.

Count
The first census was taken in 1790. Since that time,
the U.S. Government has counted
people every 10 years.
AGES:
The number of people in different
age groups has changed over
the past 200 years. These two
charts show the ages of people
in 1890 and in 1990. How
has the size of each age
group changed?
