Between May 1 and July 10, 2010, census takers may visit your home if you didn't send back your form. How to identify a census taker.
-
Census takers are your neighbors – people from your community, hired by the Census Bureau, to go door-to-door and collect census information from residents that have not sent back their 2010 Census forms. Please cooperate with the census takers to ensure an accurate count of your community.
- A census taker will visit your home up to six times, each time leaving a door hanger. The door hanger has a phone number on it that you can call to schedule a visit and be counted.
