Honorable Thomas G. Gamec <br /> <br />In most parts of the country, typically the suburban and rural areas, the <br />address list that was used to label the census questionnaires was developed <br />by census enumerators who canvassed the areas in a systematic manner. They <br />inquired at each household for an adequate mailing address. If the residents <br />gave a post office name and ZIP code of one jurisdiction because that was used <br />to deliver the mail but actually lived in a neighboring jurisdiction, they <br />nevertheless will be counted in the correct jurisdiction because the physical <br />location of the house is recorded on the map by the enumerator and also assigned <br />the correct geographic code in our computer file which is used to tabulate the <br />data. <br /> <br />If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Earle d. Gerson <br />Assistant Director <br />Bureau of the Census <br /> <br /> <br />
