Dear Resident:
The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting the 2015 National Content Test.
Your response to this brief survey is important and will help in our
efforts to develop new methods that will make the next census easier,
more convenient, and less costly for taxpayers. Results from the next
census will be used to help each community get its fair share of federal
funding for many programs that you and your neighbors need.
Using the enclosed instruction card, please complete the survey online
by September 1, at:
https://survey.census.gov/censustest
Respond on time to avoid a personal visit from a Census Bureau
interviewer. Help us conserve natural resources, process data more
efficiently, and save taxpayer money by responding online. If you are
unable to complete the survey online, you may call 1–866–226–2836
toll-free to provide your census information over the phone.
You are required by U.S. law to respond to this survey. Your answers will
only be used for statistical purposes, and no other purpose. The back of
this letter contains more information about protecting your data.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

John H. Thompson
Director
