COMPASS worked closely with its member agencies and the United States Census Bureau for the development of the 2010 Census. The results of the census will enable local governments to identify demographic characteristics, promote economic development, apply for grant applications, and determine levels and locations for infrastructure and public services. Census Population data is the basis for transportation planning, economic development, social and emergency services planning, municipal budgeting, land use planning, and other uses.
