census reports

Official population counts

Census reports are official documents published by governments that compile and present data collected during a census, typically counting a population and gathering demographic information such as age, gender, household composition, and economic status.

In the United States, the Census Bureau releases these reports following the decennial census mandated by the Constitution.

Researchers, policymakers, and businesses rely on census reports for planning purposes, from congressional redistricting to market analysis.

The census reports showed significant population growth in the Sun Belt states.
