Mailing back your census form when it arrives will contribute to saving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. It’s a lot less expensive to get responses back by mail than it is to send census takers to knock on doors of households that failed to respond.
It costs the government just 42 cents for a postage paid envelope when a household mails back the form,” said Groves. “It costs $57 to send a census taker door-to-door to follow up with each household that fails to respond.
Advance letters alerting households to the arrival of the 2010 Census form last week, as well as reminder postcards sent later this month, are all part of a mailing strategy that has been proven to increase participation in the census by mail — a cost savings that could exceed more than $500 million.
