You should have received your US Census Form on approximately March 15, 2010
Starting May 1, 2010 U.S. Census Takers will be out knocking on doors of those who have not yet returned their U.S. Census form.
The best way we all can help is for everyone in your building or neighborhood to send in their completed Census form as soon as possible using the provided envelope.
You must be at least 15 years of age to fill out the Census form or speak with a Census worker at your home.
The 2000 Census only had a 50% return rate Hollywood area. US Census office said this is equals about $1,500 lost Federal dollars pre person.
The Better Business Bureau wants to remind consumers to be watchful of criminals posing as Census Bureau officials. Responding to the census is mandatory but people should be aware of what they cannot be asked, such as social security numbers, bank accounts and credit card information.
The only questions Census Bureau officials are authorized to ask, by mail or in person, are name, gender, race, ethnicity, relationships to others in the household and whether you own or rent your home. Also, the Census Bureau never contacts citizens by e-mail or asks for donations and consumers should be especially cautious if contacted after dark.
CENSUS IMPORTANT TO KNOW
You will never be asked for:
- Never ask for your - Social Security number - Bank Accounts - Credit Card Numbers -
- Never Solicit Donations.
- If you did not fill out your Census form and send it in, a Census worker may contact you in person at your home, by telephone or by us mail.
You will never get e-mail from the Census Bureau
- Us Census will not contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail scams impersonating the Census.

- You should never invite anyone you don’t know into your home.
- Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail or in person at home.
- Expect someone to knock on your door from April - July 10, 2010 if you do not sent in a completed form.
When will Census Takers will be Going Door-to-Door
- From April to July 2010, the Census Bureau will knock on the door of every household that does not mail back a completed 2010 Census form.
- It’s critical that you take just 10 minutes to fill out and mail back your form rather than wait for a census worker to show up on your doorstep.
- About $85 million in taxpayer dollars are saved for every one percent increase in mail response.
- The Census Bureau must get a census form to – and a completed form back from – every residence in the United States.
- That’s more than 130 million addresses. This is why the census is the largest domestic mobilization our nation undertakes.
