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?

• Census: Dallas posts biggest population gain in 2009
• Best Places to Live

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.
