The Hawaii Counts 2010 Census Van will visit Maui communities this week to promote the 2010 Census.  

2010 Census questionnaires are now being delivered to homes without mailboxes. 

Mailing of the 2010 Census questionnaires will begin March 15-17. Residents are encouraged to mail back the questionnaires by Census Day on April 1. 

In early April, census takers will go door-to-door to assist residents who did not mail back their questionnaire.

In January, the U.S. Census launched “Portrait of America,” with 13 cargo vans traveling throughout the nation to promote and encourage participation in the 2010 Census. 

The Los Angeles Regional Census Center, which includes Hawaii, allocated resources to promote the 2010 Census in the Aloha State with a customized Hawaii Counts Van.
