Census Enumerators are Coming to our Neighborhoods

Census Workers are visiting homes that did not send out the Census Form. We urge everyone to cooperate with the Census Worker to fill out the form so that we can get an accurate count of our community members. 

However, there are also people trying to scam in the name of the Census. Please be careful. 


HOW TO RECOGNIZE A CENSUS WORKER

1.  A census worker must present an ID badge that contains a Department of Commerce watermark and expiration date. The census worker may also be carrying a bag with a Census Bureau logo.
2.  The census worker will provide you with supervisor contact information and/or the Local Census Office phone number for verification., if asked.
3.  The census worker will only ask you for the questions that appear on the census form.

A Census Worker will NOT:

1. Ask for your  social security number, bank account number, pin number, or credit card number.
2. Ask for donations.
3. Contact you by email.
4. Ask to enter your home.

If you have any questions, please call us at 718-937-1117.
