I’m working as a U.S. Census enumerator.
Today I visited my first address that had a mezuzah. No one answered the door, so I left a Notice of Visit form as usual. But in addition writing the address’s Census ID on the form, I added B”H. 🙂

Nice.
I had a census worker visit on Shabbos. I politely dismissed her and when we later reviewed her note, it stated Unit #4 after our address. No such unit or floor # in our house. Where do they get their info from? My husband thinks it was a hoax…
Sorry I threw it out already so I’m not sure. I think it was a NOV though. Maybe different locations have different forms. IIRC the address and ID for reference were hand-written.
Is it a volunteer job or paid?
Be careful not to test anyone.
Especially if you see some fava beans and a ChiantiOr a big Amarone.

You mean well, but could get in trouble. The ONLY information you may leave on an NOV is the 12 character case number. If the respondent is hesitant to have the interview close up, you may write your Census Phone number on the NOV an ask that the respondent call your phone when you retreat to the edge of the property or your car and you will conduct the interview over the phone.How do I know this? My nephew, off from college (in person learning) since March 10, is a Census Field Supervisor. We donated space in conference room (unused due to Covid) for training sessions of both CFS and Enumerators. I heard so many hours of Orientation and Training, that I could conduct the sessions myself.
A local Enumerator was terminated for leaving business cards when he got live responses. Another was written up for handing out voter registration info,Do your job, enjoy the income. The rate is quite good for a short term job.

It is NOT a hoax.
Unit numbers come from assorted government records.
Way back when, your home may have been part of a subdivision of land and the plot records showed it as unit #4. These would predate the municipality and Post Office assigning street addresses.this is the Decennial Census, an every 10 year count ordered in Article One of the US Constitution. The Bureaui of the Census conducts many other surveys each year for economic and statistical purposes. Last year they ran a 4 month program trying to verify address accuracy, to make this years’ count be more accurate.
