Your response is required by U.S. law.

Because your household has been asked to participate on behalf of your community, it is vital that
you complete this survey to help meet critical needs in your area.
If you are unable to complete the survey online, we will send you a paper questionnaire in a
few weeks. The Census Bureau is using the Internet to collect this information to conserve natural
resources, save taxpayers money, and process data more efficiently.
