Where to be Counted? Where do you live and sleep most of the time?
-The US Census Bureau is committed to counting every person... and to count every person in the correct place.
-The guiding principle for the Census is "usual residence", which is defined as the place where the person lives and sleeps MOST OF THE TIME. It does not matter where someone registers their car or votes and completing the census questionnaire in a different location will have no effect on car insurance or voter registration. Snowbirds (people who live in one state but spend the winter in another state with a warmer climate), college students, military personnel, etc. are to be counted at the residence where they live most of the year.
-The census forms will be mailed out in March 2010...and will not be forwarded by the Post Office. The forms that are mailed to a residence are geocoded specifically to that address.
