The correct answer is D. The Census collects data on various aspects including population, housing, and socio-economic indicators.
- Population data includes the number of people living in the United States, their age, sex, race, ethnicity, and relationship to the head of household.
- Housing data includes the number of housing units, their type, size, and value.
- Socio-economic indicators include data on income, poverty, education, employment, and health.
The Census Bureau is the government agency that is responsible for collecting and publishing data about the population of the United States. The Census is conducted every 10 years, and the data collected is used to determine how many seats each state has in the House of Representatives, to redraw congressional districts, and to allocate federal funds to states and localities. The Census data is also used by businesses and researchers to make decisions about where to locate facilities, how to market products and services, and how to allocate resources.
The Census Bureau is committed to protecting the privacy of the people who participate in the Census. The data collected is confidential and is not shared with any other government agency or organization.
