However, the most complete and most important survey for Americans is the national census. a census is the official count of the number of people living in a city, state, or country. The idea of a census has existed for more than two thousand years. In ancient Rome, the government counted its citizens for purposes of taxation and military service. But the first modern census began here in the United States in 1790. In that year, the population of the new nation was 3 929 214 Since 1790, the American government has taken a census every ten years, and the population has been growing steadily every decade. The 1980 census reported a population of 226 504 825 4. In addition to statistics on the total population, the 1980 census has given us a great deal of information about recent changes in Merican life. One of the many important changes concerns where people live. Americans are still a mainly urban people with about 75 percent of the population living in or near large cities. But, since 1970, the small communities have been gaining population at a faster rate than the cities or suburbs
