The U.S. Census Bureau has launched a new website as part of its effort to communicate with Americans about the 2010 census.
The website called
"You can find out when you will get the form, and how to fill it out and mail it back. The site also provides a substantial amount of information regarding our commitment to privacy and confidentiality."
2010-Census
Inside the site, the director's blog will offer a look at census efforts nationwide. Visitors to the blog will be able to comment and share their thoughts. As they go live, social media sites and tools will offer more ways for people to get involved.
Other site features include an interactive census form that provides a history and explanation for each of the 10 questions. The Bureau says the form is one of the shortest in history and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. To track the census progress, the site will include a map widget next year that displays mail back response rates.
In mid-November, a one-page destination about the census will be available on the site in 59 languages. Users will also be able to download an in-language guide about how to answer the form. By the end of 2009, the entire site will be available in Spanish.
