Information Collection: Your Address on the Form

A 2010 Census form sometimes listed a city name that was not the one residents expected to see for their street address.

What really mattered was the bar code above the mailing address. The bar code on the form linked the census questionnaire to the precise household location and guaranteed that residents were counted at the right place.

This video was created to alleviate confusion that residents might have had about the address labeling on the 2010 Census form.
