NIE Special Report
2010 Census Resources

Every ten years, a Portrait of America is taken by the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2010 Census will provide a clear and detailed picture of our nation.

To facilitate an understanding of the process, the U.S. Census Bureau has teamed up with Scholastic to create 2010 Census: It's About Us to provide a series of lesson plans for use by teachers and parents.
