Open the Door and Unlock Federal Funding
Each year, the federal government distributes trillions of dollars based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau. These dollars support programs in your community like health care, nutrition, highways, housing, school lunches, childcare and so much more. It’s critical that the data used to make these decisions represent your community.
If a Census Bureau field representative visits your property to conduct a survey, please provide access and assistance in making contact with the household members. You can identify Census Bureau field representatives by their federal identification badge displaying their picture and their agency branded laptop. To verify their employment, enter their name on the Census Bureau’s Staff Directory or call 1-800-852-6159.
Local Census Bureau field representatives work every week of the month visiting selected addresses throughout Texas. They’re conducting demographic and economic surveys year-round to measure changes in population and the economy across the country. All information collected through a Census Bureau survey is kept strictly confidential.
Thank you for your cooperation and access to your properties as our staff works hard to capture data representing your community. Your collaboration improves the quality of the data and the decisions that send money back to Texas.
