Home visits by census officials were once the norm, but now the census is conducted primarily through the U.S. Postal Service. Each household in the United States receives in the mail a copy of the census questionnaire to be completed by its head of household who then mails it back to the Census Bureau. Home visits are paid only to those individuals who do not return the questionnaire by the specified deadline.
