Additional information: [email protected] What is this indicator? The U.S. Census (2010) counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. The 2010 Census represented the most massive participation movement ever witnessed in our country. Approximately 74 percent of the households returned their census forms by mail; the remaining households were counted by census workers walking neighborhoods throughout the United States. National and state population totals from the 2010 Census were released on December 21, Educational attainment numeration and percentages for the population with at least an associate s or bachelor s by age, race, and Hispanic origin are provided for the U.S., Oklahoma, Tulsa County, Tulsa, Oklahoma County, and Oklahoma City. What are the key findings? United States In 2010, the total population estimate of persons 25 years and older for the United States was 199,703,884.
