"Census workers are not required to carry a solicitation permit from the Village. If you still have questions about their identity, you can call (844) 330-2020 to speak with a Census Bureau representative."

Census takers work between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., including weekends. If no one is home when the census taker visits, the census taker will leave a notice of their visit with information about how to respond online, by phone or by mail.

If you respond online or by phone today, a census taker is less likely to have to visit your home to collect your response.
