TRENTON — As the Census Bureau launches its massive operation week to verify and update more than 145 million addresses as it prepares to conduct the 2010 census, local officials are warning residents to be careful to give out the right information to the right people.
In this state, about 3000 census workers will carry out the operation and were slated to begin work April 6.
In most cases, census workers will knock on residents’ doors to verify addresses and inquire about additional living quarters on the premises. This is the first census to include group quarters, such as dormitories, group homes, prisons and homeless shelters, in the address canvassing operation.
Census workers can be identified by the official Census Bureau badge they carry and will never ask for bank or social security information.
All census information collected including addresses, are confidential and protected by law. The bureau can’t share respondents’ answers with the FBI, IRS, CIA, Welfare, Immigration, or any other government agency. No court of law or law enforcement agency can find out respondents’ answers.
