Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a census to determine the number of people living in the United States.

The Census Bureau also collects a variety of other surveys and censuses beyond the Decennial Census Program. If you, your household, or your business is selected for a census or survey, you have a great opportunity to represent thousands of Americans and/or businesses. Thank you for your interest and participation.

If you have specific concerns or questions, you may contact one of our Respondent Advocates. They serve as Organizational Ombudsmen to advocate for respondents in all matters relating to Census Bureau surveys and censuses.
