Beginning late this month, the US Census Bureau will be sending out address canvassers. The canvassers will walk or drive through neighborhoods to make sure that all addresses are in the Bureau’s database when the questionaire is delivered in March of next year. This early operation is important to ensure a complete and accurate account when the actual census takes place. Listers will wear an official identification badge and use hand held computers with maps on them to verify and list structures, including the collection of GPS coordinates for each location. All information collected by Census employees is kept strictly confidential and is not shared with any other persons, institutions or agencies.
