April 09, 2010
2010 Census forms have been mailed to over 4 million addresses in North Carolina, and follow-up forms have been mailed in some areas to make sure everyone is counted. All of these forms have not been returned.
In less than 2 weeks the US Census Bureau will begin the process of sending Census workers to addresses that have not returned their questionnaires. This non-response follow-up is the most expensive part of the Census. For everyone one percent of Census forms returned by mail, the US Census Bureau saves $85 million.
It is not too late to complete and return your questionnaire. The US Census Bureau invites local partners to conduct "March to the Mailbox" neighborhood activities on April 10 to encourage those who haven't already returned their 2010 Census questionnaire to mail it back today. Neighborhood activities could be parades, rallies, walks, or any other activity to promote participation in the Census. March to the Mailbox is aimed at those neighborhoods that have shown low Census participation in the past, but anyone who has not returned their Census form can complete and return their form and be a part of helping their community.
If you have already mailed back your Census form, thank you!
