In March 2010, Census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States. The form to be completed for the 2010 Census consists of 10 short questions such as name, sex, age, date of birth, race, household relationship and if you rent or own a home. The 2010 Census does not ask about legal status or require a Social Security number and any personal data you provide is protected by federal law.

If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker who will ask you the questions from the form. The majority of the country will receive English-only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form. The 2010 Census form cannot be completed online.
Be Counted forms are 2010 Census forms that will be available at all Tippecanoe Valley schools and various community locations for use by people who either did not receive a form in the mail or whose information was not collected on any other form.[[In-content Ad]]Be Counted forms are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Russian.
