• The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution.
• Your participation in the census is required by law.
• The U.S. Census bureau will mail questionnaires to every U.S. household in March 2010. Residents are required to return them by April 1.
• The questionnaire takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
