Census Enumerators to Knock on Doors Starting May 1
Starting May 1, local census enumerators will begin knocking county-wide on the doors of all households which did not return a census form.
They will conduct a ten minute interview with each household to complete each form. They will not leave a census form on the doorknob if no one is home. Instead they will return another two times. They will also work hours when people are likely to be home, ie. evenings and weekends.
It is now possible for anyone who did not receive a form to call 1 866 872 6868 to have a census form mailed to their PO Box or home address. This may not stop the knock on the door, but it will forego the need for the interview.
Limited census forms are available at all “Be Counted” sites at the San Juan Islands’ public libraries.
