The first data released from the 2010 Census are the official national and state population counts, which are used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, this data must be delivered to the President of the United States by the Census Bureau on or before December 31, 2010
CENSUS TO BEGIN
2010 Census Information
During the next several months, the Census Bureau will conduct three major quality assurance operations and other processes to ensure that the 2010 Census is an accurate and complete picture of everyone living across the nation. These efforts are an investment in the quality of the census that will pay off for the next 10 years.
QA 1: Coverage Follow-Up Operation (4/11/10 - 8/13/10)- During this operation, the Census Bureau will call households who have responded to the 2010 Census if we need to clarify any answers about the number of people living at the address on April 1st. If we have some indication that someone may have been included or excluded in error, we will call to get a better understanding of the situation, and then use our census residence rules to resolve the uncertainties.
QA 2: Vacant Delete Check (7/24/10 - 8/25/10) - We collect additional information to ensure housing units classified as vacant (or nonexistent) were in fact unoccupied on April 1st. In this operation, we follow-up with housing units that were classified as vacant or nonexistent during the non-response follow-up operation. A census taker - different from the one who made the original classification - will visit the housing unit to confirm the classification. If they determine that classification was wrong, they will collect the census information for the housing unit and any Census Day residents. During this operation, we also will visit and enumerate addresses that were added to our master list too late to include them in the Form Delivery and Mailback phase or in the Door-to-Door Followup phase.
**If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, an Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should NEVER invite anyone you don't know into your home.
**Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do NOT give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary rate, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that infomration is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION. NO Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by E-mail, so be on the lookout for E-mail scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an E-mail that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
