Census Bureau Sends Letters
KENTUCKY....
The U.S. Census Bureau sent out letters Monday to approximately 120 million addresses across the country to inform people they will soon receive a 2010 census form. The letters are going to 90% of the nation's residential addresses, while census workers began last week visiting the other 10% living along the hurricane-affected Gulf Coast and a few areas where it's easier to visit. The bureau says the advance notice increases the rate of return for the census form, and, if you receive a form in the mail and don't fill it out and send it back, expect a visit.
