As the 2010 Census countdown comes to close April 16<sup>th*</sup> at midnight,
leaving only two days for the public to mail back their census forms. For
every form that is not mailed back a census take must follow-up in person with
every address that doesn’t mail back the form in order to obtain the
responses. The cost for these visits is $60 per household, and if the
nation achieves a 100% return rate tax payers would save $1.5 billion dollars.<o:p></o:p></p>
