At the heart of the 2010 Census outreach effort is the 10-question 2010 Census form. The 2010 Census form is one of the shortest census forms in history and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Households will be asked to provide key demographic information, including: whether a housing unit is rented or owned; the address of the residence; and the names, genders, ages, races and relationships of others living in the household.
By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents’ answers with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. All Census Bureau employees take an oath of nondisclosure and are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of the data. The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.
Households across the country will receive the form by mail or hand delivery. The initial form package, which will consist of the initial 2010 Census form, a cover letter, and a postage-paid return envelope will be delivered in March 2010. Responding immediately to the 2010 Census form is the most efficient way to complete the census. Census workers will visit households that do not return the forms to take a count in person.
As a Census Bureau partner, the City of West Chicago encourages you to participate in the 2010 Census and let the country know what our community needs for the next 10 years. If for some reason you do not receive a form, or if you need a questionnaire in one of the 5 available non-English languages, you should visit a Be Counted Center. The following Be Counted Centers will also offer questionnaire assistance by a Census employee up to 15 hours per week: Wayne Township Office (27W031 North Avenue), Main Park Neighborhood Resource Center (809 Main Street), Westwood Neighborhood Resource Center (1209 Kings Circle) and Riverwoods Neighborhood Resource Center (801 Lorlyn Drive). For more details, follow the Census 2010 links on the homepage, or contact Rosemary Mackey at (630) 293-2200 x139 or go to census2010.gov. |
