Census Workers Begin Visiting Homes!
By being counted you are standing up for what our community's needs are. Census takers have begun visiting households that have not completed their 2010 Census questionnaire. A census taker is a person from our community who is hired by the Census Bureau to make sure that our neighborhood gets represented as accurately as possible. The census taker's primary responsibility is to collect census information from residences. Most of these residences have not sent back their 2010 Census form.
- The Census Bureau provides the census taker with a binder containing all of the addresses that didn't send back a filled out census form
- The census taker then visits all of those addresses and records the answers to the questions on the form.
- If no one answers at a particular residence, a census taker will visit that home up to six times, each time leaving a door hanger featuring a phone number; residents can call the number on the hanger to schedule the visit.
- The census taker will ONLY ask the questions that appear on the census form. They will NOT ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers; nor will employees solicit donations.
Census takers will continue to visit households until July. For more information about how to identify a U.S. Census Bureau Worker, visit our Privacy and Safety Concerns page.
