# Census 2010: Non-response Follow-up Wrapping Up

In a posting on [his blog](http://blogs.census.gov/?s=2010+census), Census Bureau Director Robert Groves says that census-takers are nearly done with knocking on doors of households from which 2010 Census forms were not received. As of June 28, 99.6% of the interviews were completed.

The bureau is conducting quality-assurance audits to make sure the interviews were conducted correctly (see [this report](http://http:////www-nc.nytimes.com/2010/06/26/two-brooklyn-census-managers-fired-over-faked-surveys/?=_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&scp=3&sq=census&st=cse&_r=6&) about 10,000 households in Brooklyn whose information will be redone because two managers allegedly used online databases to fill in census forms rather than contacting the householders directly). Additional quality-assurance operations will examine the status of addresses deemed to be vacant on April 1, Census Day; addresses that could not be found and were recommended for deletion from the address list; and addresses added too late to be visited by census-takers during the non-response follow-up phase.
