Just F.Y.I.

The U.S. Census Bureau is back in our village trying to fill in the blanks for the addresses that a mailed Census form was not received.  This is not the Lakewood Village Census form that was turned in to the office staff.

The Census and Florida both need your input.  The biggest help is to answer the few questions the worker has to ask.  There are no immigration status, financial, or personal qustions on the form.  The main goal of the Census is to count people.  Each and every person making our Village thier home.

All they will ask is name, age, relationship to primary resident, sex, race, (hispanic or not), residence owned or rented, and if it is the primary residence, and for a name and telephone number for quality control.

All information is voluntary except for the name, age, and relationship to primary resident.   If all the info is completed during the first visit - no one else from the NRFU unit should have to bother your again.

Remember, our Census is mandated by law, it is how our Congressional Districts are redrawn, provides data for all sorts of funding opportunities for our county and state. 

And best of all!!!  The personally identifying information is protected by law and will not be released for 72 years.  Only compiled data figures can be used for the next 7+ decades!

Help the workers get thier job done, information documented, and they will be done! 

If you have any questions or concerns the Local Census Office is in Pt. St. Lucie and can be reached at (772) 361-6001.

Thank you and lets have a great summer!
