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.

by gender, race, and ethnic group; and urban and rural population. The
