  1. “Latest Census results to be released Tuesday”

  2. The Census Bureau is expected to release results of the 2010 Census on Tuesday, the first look at how the country has changed over the last decade. "The 2010 Census began last January, America stepped up and achieved a successful Census," the bureau said on its website. "Beginning this month, the nation will see the first results from the 2010 Census as a new portrait of America begins to take shape.” The U.S. Constitution mandates that a Census be conducted every 10 years to track population shifts in the country. Its primary purpose is to determine how many people live in the United States and which states will gain congressional seats and electoral votes and which states will lose them. But Census population figures are also used to distribute federal funds to states and communities. The new Census numbers will be the basis for congressional reapportionment, as the states divvy up the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. The 2010 Census form had 10 questions -- the shortest one in U.S. history -- and surveyed some 134 million households.
