The Census Bureau cannot do this project alone and has enlisted the help of communities such as Rosemead to get the word out. Some facts to know about the 2010 CensusMore than 130 million addresses throughout the nation will receive a census form in March 2010, either by mail or in person from a census worker. Households should complete and return their forms upon receipt. Responses to the census form should include everyone living at your address. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s personal information with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. Addresses that do not respond by the deadline will be visited in person by a census worker beginning in late April through July 2010. The Census Bureau will provide the 2010 apportionment counts to the President by December 31, 2010, which will include the total population counts and the number of representatives for each state.Multilingual CensusThe goal of the 2010 Census is to count all residents living in the United States on April 1, 2010. The U.S. Census Bureau does not ask about the legal status of respondents in any of its surveys and census programs. To help ensure the nation’s increasingly diverse population can answer the questionnaire accurately and completely, about 13 million bilingual Spanish/English forms will be mailed to housing units in neighborhoods identified as requiring high levels of Spanish assistance. Additionally, questionnaires in Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Vietnamese and Russian, as well as language guides in 59 languages, will be available on request.
