The Decennial Census is the nation’s oldest and most comprehensive source of population and housing information. As provided for in the Constitution, the U.S. Government uses the Census Bureau’s count of the population in each state to apportion the seats in the House of Representatives. The Decennial Census data are also used in drawing congressional and state legislative districts and distributing hundreds of billions of dollars of federal funds each year. State, local, and tribal governments use the data to make a wide variety of decisions to improve their communities. Businesses, nonprofit organizations, and governments use it as the basis for research, planning, and investment. The decennial census produces the widest range of information available at the smallest geographic levels.

Beginning in 1920, Guam was included in the population part of the Decennial Census, and in 1960 for the Housing Census.

Through a cooperative partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Statistics and Plans established Guam’s 2010 Census Interagency Committee in February 2006. Comprised of representatives from the data user community including the government, business, academic, private and non-profit sectors, the purpose of the Committee is to address issues related to the planning of the 2010 Census for Guam.
