A census calculates the population of a country which can be used for many things, such as locating places to put public service facilities (schools, post offices, roads, libraries,etc.). In a census the citizen is asked questions about their jobs, income, and family members (children). This allows the government to see the average income of citizens, and predict the population of the future.
The purpose of a census is many fold:-
Census data is merged with other data to compile a comprehensive picture regarding the state of a country as part of the census process.
Census data is invaluable to those wishing to build their family trees.

The census is mandated in Article I of the Constitution of the United States. The enumeration of the population of the states is required to determine the number of representatives each state will have in the House of Representatives. The same proportions are used when determining the number of electors in the Electoral College for presidential elections.
The census is required by the constitution of the USA. It allows the government to know important general information such as natural increase and other population measures. It also allows the government to plan for the worst with the number of able-bodied adults who could fight and where the population is concentrated (so where evacuation plans have to be at their best).
