Best Answer

The US Constitution requires that the US Govt make a counting of the number of people living in different areas. That is the census. The numbers determine the number of members of the House of Representatives that a state will have- and the numbers are used by different government agencies to plan what services may be needed by different areas. If you don't fill out the forms, then they will not have that information.
