U.S. Census Bureau Address Canvassers will be in your neighborhoods. This operation is one of several activities the Census Bureau conducts for an accurate list of addresses.

Census employees will have badges, along with black and white bags with a Census logo. They will knock on doors and ask a few simple questions to verify the address and any additional living quarters on the property for inclusion on the 2020 Census. Employees will introduce themselves as a Census Bureau employee, show their official government ID and explain the purpose of their visit. Residents may ask for a picture ID from another source to confirm their identity.

More information about the 2020 Census and/or Address Canvassers can be found in their article or brochure.

If you have any questions about the Address Canvassers, please contact the Philadelphia Region at (267) 780-2600 or Philadelphia.rcc.partnership@2020census.gov.
