Spring 2009 - Census 2010 Update (pdf)
April 6, 2009
Re: Census 2010 Update
Dear Mayor:
As a follow-up to our Census 2010 Get out the Count Press
Conference we had last week we are writing to let you know that
the Census Bureau is launching a massive operation this week to
verify and update more than 145 million addresses as it prepares to
conduct the 2010 Census. In New Jersey, about 3000 people will
carry out the operation. April 1 marked the official one year out for
the countdown to the 2010 Census.
Address canvassers will use new hand held computers equipped
with GPS to increase geographic accuracy. The ability to capture
GPS coordinates for most of the nation’s housing units will greatly
reduce the number of geographic coding errors caused by using
paper maps in previous counts.
The address canvassing operation will be conducted out of 151
local census offices across the U.S., including those in Camden,
Hoboken, Rocky Hill, and Trenton. Most offices will begin
operations April 6. In most cases, census workers will knock on
residents’ doors to verify addresses and inquire about additional
living quarters on the premises. This is the first census to include
group quarters (such as dormitories, group homes, prisons and
homeless shelters) in the address canvassing operation, which
should improve both the accuracy and coverage of the final count.
Census workers can be identified by the official Census Bureau
badge they carry. During the address canvassing operation, census
workers may ask to verify a housing structure’s address and the
existence of any additional living quarters on the property.
2010 Census workers will never ask for bank or social security
information. All census information collected, including addresses,
are confidential and protected by law. The Census Bureau cannot
share respondents’ answers with the FBI, the IRS, CIA, Welfare,
Immigration, or any other government agency. No court of law or
law enforcement agency can find out respondents’ answers. All
Census Bureau employees — including temporary employees —
take an oath for life to keep census information confidential. Any
violation of that oath is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and
five years in prison.
For further information, please contact Leonard Preston, of the New
Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, at (609)
