Dear Community Member,
Soon, a Census employee from your area will come to your door to collect your response to the American
Housing Survey (AHS). The AHS is used to help Federal, State and local governments, businesses and
non-profits understand changes in housing conditions, costs, and other important information about your
community to better design policies and services like schools, roads, and hospitals.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Every two years, fewer than 1 in 1,000 households are selected to represent the nation, and more
than 89% of these households respond - make sure your voice is one of them!
• You can choose when you want the Census employee to stop by. Call <>
to schedule your appointment and use the tear-off appointment reminder below. 
• The employee will show you their badge when they arrive. If you’d like, you can verify they are an
employee by going to https://census.gov/verify and typing in their first and last name.
With gratitude,
The U.S. Census Bureau
