Re:      Important Census Information: Incorrect Addresses

Dear Mayor:

Please take note of the following important information from the Census Bureau.

If you or any of your residents received a Census form with an incorrect address, here is what to do:

 If the city and/or ZIP Code are incorrect but the street address is correct:

 Complete the form
 Correct the city name and/or ZIP Code
 Mail back the form

 If the house number and street name are incorrect, AND you have not completed questions on the form:

 Write ‘Wrong Address’ on the front of the envelope
 Leave the questions blank
 Place the envelope in the mail
 A Census Worker will follow up with you later

 If the house number and street name are incorrect AND you have completed questions on the form, but have not mailed it back:

 Discard the form in a way that is comfortable for you so your personal information
is not made known to the public
 A Census worker will follow up with you later

 If the house number and street name are incorrect AND you have completed questions on the form AND you have mailed the form back:

 A Census Worker may follow up with you later
