Census 2010: Biggest winners and losers
The Census Bureau is conducting the nation's decennial head count, which influences how much federal money states and cities receive. Who will come out on top?
Winner: Provo, Utah
Since the last census, the population of this central Utah metropolitan area, which includes Provo and Orem, has grown by almost half, with a 7% spike between 2006 and 2007 alone. Much of this is a result of growing families: For every death, there were more than six births.
Rewards:
* Will likely receive additional census-based funding above the $300 million the area received in 2008.
* Utah could gain a congressional seat, for a total of 4.
NEXT: Winner: Raleigh, N.C.
