The U.S. Census Bureau has released information to allow residents to easily identify census takers, whose primary responsibility is to collect census information from residences that have not sent back their 2010 Census form.

- Census workers will wear an official identification badge and may also carry Census Bureau bags

- The Census Bureau provides the census taker with a binder containing all of the addresses that didn’t send back a filled out census form. The census taker then visits all of those addresses and records the answers to the questions on the form

- If no one answers at a particular residence, a census taker will visit that home up to three times, each time leaving a door hanger featuring a phone number; residents can call the number on the hanger to schedule the visit

- The census taker will ONLY ask the questions that appear on the census form. They will NEVER ask for your Social Security Number or personal banking information (such as account numbers or passwords).

- If you still are not certain about the worker’s identity, please call the Regional Census Center at 404-335-1555 to confirm they’re employed by the Census Bureau.
