"Yes, the US census includes undocumented immigrants. The Census Bureau counts everyone residing in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, according to the City of St. Helena, CA (.gov) and SF.gov. The Constitution mandates that the census count all "persons" residing in the country.
Specifically, the census counts individuals at their usual residence, which is where they live and sleep most of the time, according to Census.gov. This includes citizens and non-citizens, including those who are undocumented. The Census Bureau does not inquire about or consider immigration status when counting individuals.
The Supreme Court has consistently held that the term "persons" in the Constitution refers to all individuals residing in the United States, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Efforts to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census have been unsuccessful, with the Supreme Court previously blocking a citizenship question on the census, according to the American Immigration Council.

Remember the 3/5 Compromise? The agreement that 3/5 of a state’s enslaved population would be counted for purposes of representation and taxation, essentially rendering every Black person in America 3/5 of a human being? Considered one of the more horrific moments in American history?
The number of representatives per state, the amount of money for various appropriations — none of that has ever been based on the number of citizens in a state, but the number of persons. The number of people that will be driving on the bridges and highways, getting mail, eating school lunches, working dangerous jobs. People. Human beings.
Today Donald Trump has issued the 0/5 Edict, rendering undocumented Latino residents non-human. No longer persons. No longer people.
