Address canvassing for 2020
Census underway on North Shore
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
The U.S. Census Bureau
recently began address
canvassing for the 2020
Census.
Address canvassing is
the verification of addresses
generally due to new
construction or the demolition
of buildings.
It will not happen on
every block in the United
States.
“The only time address
canvassers will knock on
a door is to confirm an address
has either been created
or changed since the
last census in 2010,” said
Bryan Carpenter, Chicago
Regional Census Center,
U.S. Census Bureau.
“Most of the address canvassing
will be done from
the curb. There also will
be no phone calls made to
residents during address
canvassing.”
Older houses that have
been torn down and replaced
with new ones usually
maintain the address
of the former house on that
property.
New addresses that
likely will be verified by a
census address canvasser
include the following:
• A new house or building
that now stands on a
piece of once vacant land.

• Townhouses or two or
more single family houses
constructed on a single
piece of vacant land, or
those built on a larger lot
where at one time there
stood only a single house
or building. They usually
will have new addresses
and/or a split personal
identification number.
• An address on a building
that changed from
one to two separate living
quarters since the 2010
Census would be another
address the canvasser likely
would verify.
• Multi-family addresses
such as college dorms or
group homes are identified
through third-party data.
There are several ways
to verify the individual is a
Census Bureau employee
Carpenter said.
• The field representative
must present an identification
badge, which contains
their name, photograph, a
Department of Commerce
watermark and an expiration
date.
• A field representative
will be carrying an official
bag with the Census Bureau
logo or a laptop for
conduct the survey.
• The field representative
will provide a letter
from the Census Bureau
on official letterhead stating
why they are visiting
your residence.
• Upon request, the field
representative will provide
their supervisor’s contact
information and/or the
phone number for the local
Census Bureau Regional
Office, which supervises
the activities of all field
representatives in the local
area.
“A Census Bureau employee
during the address
canvassing will never call
you on the phone or ask
for usernames, passwords,
credit card numbers or account
details,” Carpenter
said. “Additionally, a field
representative will never
ask for money or donations,
anything on behalf
of a political party or your
mother’s maiden name.”
It cannot be emphasized
enough that most of the
address canvassing will be
done from the curb Carpenter
said.
“Census workers additionally
will never ask for
social security or banking
information,” said Michael
Robinson, commander
with the Wilmette Police
Department. “If someone
does not have proper identification
or is acting suspiciously,
please call the Wilmette
Police Department
for assistance.”

and Lake County
