Update Leave • Update Leave is conducted in rural areas that primarily use PO Box or Rural Route mailing addresses. Nationwide, Update Leave represents 5% of the nation’s total addresses. Many tribal areas are part of the Update Leave field operation. • Census Takers go door to door, update each address on a census laptop, and leave a questionnaire package at each household’s door. Householders are encouraged to self- respond to the census with the paper questionnaire, online, or over the phone. • Each enumerator will carry a laptop device, laptop bag, an “OFFICIAL BUSINESS” notice for their vehicle, and confidentiality notices for each address. • Enumerators will deliver the census form by sliding it into the water-resistant plastic bag and hanging the bags on or near the front door.
