Are You in a Survey or Census?

Information for Survey and Census Participants

The Census Bureau conducts a variety of censuses and surveys, not just the once-a-decade census of people. Every month, quarter, and year we conduct surveys with businesses.

If you have received a telephone call from someone at the Census Bureau, and you have any questions, you may speak directly via telephone or e-mail with an employee of the National Processing Center.

We Protect Your Information

The surveys we conduct provide information about social and economic conditions in the country, including manufacturing, trade, services, and many other topics. The questions we ask are used only to produce statistics, and you or your business are never identified individually. For more information on how we protect your information, please see our Data Protection and Privacy Policy website.
