Cerritos Families

Each household, in Cerritos and other cities, should receive a Census questionnaire in the spring of 2010. If the questionnaire is not returned, another request and questionnaire will be mailed. Households that do not respond to the second questionnaire will be visited by Census personnel between April and July.

But beware of any person who comes to your door between now and April 1, 2010, claiming to be gathering data for the census. Census workers will be knocking on doors between April and July. Real census takers wear an official badge and carry a black canvas shoulder bag reading “U.S. Census Bureau.” The badge does not have a photo ID but it has the taker’s name and signature. If you have doubts about a person’s identity, ask to see a photo ID.
