The Federal Census Bureau has provided the city with the following resources below as part of an educational campaign, including a video to help citizens identify official census workers who may visit.

“Verify Census Workers in Your Area” https://2020census.gov/en/census-takers.html 

If you are visited by someone from the Census Bureau, and want to verify their identity and occupation, here are some tips to assure the validity of the field representative:

• Census takers must present an ID badge that includes a photograph of the field representative, a Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date.
• Follow this link and enter any field representative’s credentials.
• Note that census workers may be carrying a Census Bureau phone or a laptop as well as a bag with a Census Bureau logo.
• This link shows a map of locations where Census workers will be working. https://gis-portal.data.census.gov/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=1a0004d1745547888c8fd2f4d929d42f
