Census is essential to apportionment and districting because it provides the official population count that determines how political power is distributed at every level of government

The census is a big count of all the people who live in the country. It tells the government how many people live in each state and town. Apportionment means deciding how many representatives each place gets. Districting means drawing the lines that show who votes for which representative. The census helps with both because places with more people get more representatives and their district lines might change. That makes sure everyone gets a fair voice in government.
