CENSUS WORKERS IN THE AREA

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.  Census workers will be going door to door to gather necessary information from residents.  Please be advised that some criminals take advantage of this time and will pose as Census workers.  In order to help ensure your safety, please keep the following in mind:

• Census workers will ALWAYS have an official U.S. Census ID badge marked with their name.
• Census workers May have a “U.S. Census Bureau” bag.
• Census workers will NEVER ask to enter your home.
• Census workers will ONLY ask the ten questions that appear on the census form.
• Census workers will NEVER ask for your Social Security number or any other financial information.
• Census workers will NEVER ask or suggest that you submit information to the census online. There is no legitimate Web site for entering census information.

If you have any doubts about whether a Census worker is legitimate or not, call Security at 313-2222 or if you feel you are in danger, call 911!
