Yes, though it is a very difficult problem to get an accurate count for obvious reasons.

Note that the U.S. census counts everyone in the area - permanent residents, temporary residents (though, they are asked to provide where their permanent residence is), illegal immigrants, homeless, etc.

It is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT that everyone answers the census. It's the ONLY way we can apportion representation and funding, so YOU HAVE TO BE COUNTED. Also, note that the Census does not(by law) share personal data with ANY other government agency. That is, any personal data will only be aggregated with others in large anonymous blocks to provide statistical pools. So, by answering the Census, you will NEVER have any of your unique personal data given to the IRS, FBI, INS, or other agency.
