§ 29403 Census Population Basis

• •The law uses the most recent federal census (count of people) to decide things.
• •This count happens every 10 years.
• •The census numbers help figure out rules for different places based on how many people live there.

A small town grows a lot, and the next census shows more people live there.

The town might get more money for schools or roads because the law now sees it as bigger.
