PROVIDENCE – Wednesday was the fist day that the 1,000 local census takers began going door to door to collect information from households that did not respond to the 2018 End-to-End Census Test that is being piloted in Providence County.

“It’s not too late to respond to the census test to avoid a follow-up visit; however, should a census taker contact you, we ask that you cooperate with them,” said Jeff Behler, director of the Census Bureau’s New York Regional Office, in a statement. “The Census Bureau protects your answers. It’s against the law for us to publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you or your household.”
