Timeline for your Census 2010 form
In late February - early March 2010, you will receive an Advance Letter alerting you to look out for the 2010 Census Form in the coming weeks.
In March 2010, Census forms will be mailed to households. You should complete and return your Census 2010 form upon receipt.
April 1, 2010 – Census forms due! Responses to the census form should include everyone living at your address, regardless of their relationship to you or their status. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s personal information with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities.
In April – July 2010, addresses that still have not responded will be visited in person by a census worker beginning in late April through July. (Census workers can be identified by a census badge and bag.) If you don’t want a census worker to visit you, fill out and mail back your census form by April 1, 2010!
