Your 2010 Census Survey Will Arrive In One Month

If you are like me, the mail piles up and you try to take out the important pieces. Keep an eye out for >the 2010 Census which will arrive mid-March. You have to fill it out and return it by April 1, 2010.

You will receive a short questionnaire that is simple to complete and return with questions such as:

• Name
• Sex
• Age
• Date of birth
• Origin
• Race
• Household relationship
• If you own or rent

The census DOES NOT ask about the legal status of respondents or Social Security numbers.

Once you get your form in the mail, fill it in and mail it back in the postage-paid envelope provided.
Any request for census information from the Census Bureau will be clearly identified as coming from the U.S. Census Bureau and as OFFICIAL BUSINESS of the United States. It is a federal offense for anyone to pretend they represent the Census Bureau.

College students living away from home should not be counted on their parents’ questionnaires. If someone lives away at school, their Census form will arrive in April or May. People should be counted where they live and sleep most of the year, so students living in on-campus housing need to answer their questionnaires themselves at school.

By law, the Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s answers with anyone, including federal, state, and local agencies. Your information will be kept completely confidential.

If for some reason you don’t return your questionnaire, a Census worker will come to your home. Before your household receives a visit from the Census Bureau, you will be given a few days notice with a letter from the Census Bureau Director.
