Beginning on May 1, 2010, for a period of 6 to 8 weeks, census takers will visit households that did not complete and return the census questionnaires that were mailed to their residences. This “Non-Response Follow-up” operation will ensure that everyone in Decatur is counted in the 2010 Census.
A few things to keep in mind during this time:
- Census takers are your neighbors (people from your community), hired by the Census Bureau, to go door-to-door and collect census information from residents who have not returned their 2010 Census forms.
- Census takers will contact residences up to 6 times, each time leaving a door hanger. The door hanger will have a phone number (404-239-2160) on it so that residents can call to schedule a visit and be counted.
- Census takers visiting households will have a black census bag as well as a 2 1/8” X 3 3/8” non-photo identification badge.
