<description>&lt;p&gt;As our country gets more divided, there's one thing that can unite us: The Census. The U.S. Census is powerful. Data collected from the census determines the number of representatives in the House for each state and directs the allocation of almost $1 trillion in federal funding. However, less than two-thirds of Americans mail in their census forms and some groups are undercounted by up to 5%. A complete count can completely change representation in our country, which is why some experts believe being counted is more important than voting. Can a group of experts and advocates get us to agree?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
