The door-to-door phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is winding down, and Kansans who have not received a census form in the mail or forgot to mail it in can call 866-872-6868 to speak with a representative who can take census information by telephone. In just three days on July 31, this number will be shut down as the 2010 Census tracking period will end and a report will be issued by the United States Census Bureau by the end of the year.
Mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the United States Census Bureau counts every resident in the United States every 10 years. Forms were mailed out in March, and the Census Bureau has followed up with residences by going door-to-door. The information collected by the Census Bureau is used strictly for statistical purposes. By law, personal information cannot be shared with anyone including other government agencies. Kansas had a 75 percent mail participation rate while the national mail participation rate was 72 percent. For general information from the Census Bureau, visit: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/ .
