Census 2010

The Census Bureau announced that it will be starting addressing canvasing during the week of April 20 and continuing through July 2. Census employees will be visiting each housing unit to verify the address and GPS the location coordinates. They will knock on doors to introduce themselves and tell the homeowner what they are doing and verify the number of housing units at the location where it appears there are more than one. Then they will stand in front of the unit and record the address and GPS coordinates. This field work is extremely important to getting the complete Census information for our residents. Having a correct count of the population affects the amount of Federal dollars that Vermont and municipalities receive later. Cooperation is appreciated by the Census Bureau.
