>U.S. Census workers will be in Ridgewood during the next few weeks, conducting an Address Canvassing Operation in preparation for the 2010 Census.
Address canvassers will use new hand held computers equipped with GPS to increase geographic accuracy. In most cases, census workers will knock on residents’ doors to verify addresses and inquire about additional living quarters on the premises.
Census workers can be identified by the official Census Bureau badge they carry. 201 Census workers will never ask for bank or social security information. All census information collected, including addresses, are confidential and protected by law. The Census Bureau cannot share the information with any other government agency.
