Last Day to Mail in Census Forms

by NC Census April 16, 2010

April 16 is last day to mail back your 2010 Census questionnaire and not be visited by a Census worker. 

The US Constitution requires a Census count of all residents every 10 years, and the US Census Bureau mailed 2010 Census forms to over 4 million addresses in North Carolina to count everyone residing in our state.  Every Census form has not been returned, and those households that have not returned their Census questionnaire after today will be visited by Census workers beginning in May.

Census takers are local people - your neighbors - who have been hired and trained by the US Census Bureau to go door-to-door to those homes that have not returned a Census form and collect the Census information.

Census takers will be carrying a US Census Bureau bag and will have US Census Bureau identification badges.  The Census takers will visit non-responding home multiple times, and they will leave a door hanger after each visit.  The door hanger has a phone number on it that you can call to schedule a visit and be counted on the 2010 Census.

If you have not returned your Census form, please cooperate with the Census taker and  help your community by participating in the 2010 Census.
