Every ten years, a nationwide census is conducted by the United States Government.  The next census will take place in 2010.
Beginning in February, questionnaires will be mailed or delivered to households across the nation.  Census workers will then visit households that did not respond to the questionnaire.  The questionnaire contains 10 questions and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
