The Census takes place every 10 years. Some states gain more population than others, and others even lost population.

States that gained enough population must gain more seats, taking them from states that either didn't gain as much population, or lost population.

  1. As an historical record of the population of a country, how families are arranged, hosed and what occupations are being undertaken by those employed.
