2010 Census CountThis past spring, the U.S. Census Bureau set out to conduct its decennial census count of the American population. Census data impacts the distribution of more than $400 billion in annual federal funds to states and also affects the apportionment of seats in Congress.  Census data released earlier this week revealed significant population growth in the South and Western regions of the U.S. – growth largely attributed to Latino population growth.  As a result, Texas gains four new House seats and Florida gains two seats in Congress.  Georgia, South Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Washington also gain a seat.  The full release of Census data next year will trigger a new round of redistricting at the local, state and federal levels throughout the country and require public engagement in the process to ensure compliance with the anti-discrimination provisions of the Voting Rights Act, among other things.
