Accurate census figures are vital for effective resource allocation. Planners use census data to understand population distribution, demographics, and needs. This information helps them: * Allocate resources (like schools, hospitals, infrastructure, etc.) to areas where they are most needed. * Determine the scale of social amenities required (e.g., number of classrooms, hospital beds). * Plan for employment by understanding the size and skill set of the labor force.
