Every ten years the government has a survey given to every U.S. resident. This survey is commonly known as a census. There are questions like "How many people live in your residence?" and "What is your gender?" The government publishes these results after a certain period of time.

The census helps the government determine how much money to spend on certain facilities such as schools and hospitals. It can also help find workers that may need a job. The government has over 400 billion dollars to spend on facilities and projects, and the census divides up the money.
