Thank You
...for the help you gave the U.S. Census Bureau field representative who recently contacted you.
Because of your cooperation and the cooperation of others, we will be able to provide information that will aid
the government in planning to meet the housing needs of the American people.
Your answers not only represent your household but thousands of others like yours. We will combine your
answers with answers obtained from the other households to produce housing information. We will hold the
information you provided in the strictest confidence as required by Title 13, Section 9, of the United States
Code. We will use your information for statistical purposes only.
One of our field representatives may contact this address again in a few years. If you should move away, we
would interview the new occupants. We return to the same addresses to measure changes in the housing stock,
the structural characteristics of the housing, and some demographic characteristics of the occupants.
If you have access to the Internet and want to learn more about the American Housing Survey, please visit our
Web site at .
Again, the Census Bureau appreciates your help.
Sincerely,

Thomas L. Mesenbourg Jr.
Acting Director
