General Information

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.

The 2010 Census aims to count all U.S. residents—citizens and non-citizens alike.  To do so, the Census Bureau:

• Delivers a short 10-question form to every household in America.
• Requires that you fill in the form to account for everyone living at your address as of April 1, 2010.
• Includes a prepaid envelope with the form so you can mail it back as soon as possible.

In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico.  When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided.  If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.

The majority of the country will receive English–only materials.  Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form.

Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.
