NEW YORK - MARCH 07: A sign informs ethnic Russians of the upcoming census count in the Russian enclave of Brighton Beach March 7, 2010 in the Brooklyn borough of New York. As the 2010 population count begins, neighborhoods like Brooklyn, one of the most diverse in the country, are notoriously difficult for census workers to count as the population is dense and often weary of revealing ethnicity to the government for fear of immigration difficulties. In order to get an accurate population count the Census Bureau is mailing the 10-question forms to 120 million U.S. households on March 15. The Census count is conducted every 10 years.
