Its main purpose is the count of persons in each state to apportion the number of districts in each state for the House of Representatives, as directed in th US Constitution.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities.
