walking my neighborhood conducting the US Census was an interesting learning experience ~ going into other neighborhoods was a little more than interesting ~ @kerryserody always traveled with me in the unsafe areas, but the fear was there the moment I was out of the car ~ the Census needs to know who and how many people, but they also need to know if an address still exists ~ clearly this one does not any longer ~ the job is done, life goes back to normal this week and I got to keep my bag #adayinthelifeofacensustaker #takingthecensus #censustaker #ancestry #uscensus #enumerator #getcounted #vintage #midcentury #ephemera #work #mywork #myjob #ilovemyjob #hardworkpays #imasimplegirl (at Ridley Park, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF4U67OHbKe/?igshid=15ffainix2f47

life feels really busy right now, which is great after the slowdown from covid ~ every day I do a few hours of US Census enumerator work in my neighborhood ~ each day is more interesting, but there are safety precautions as well ~ today I was up against a large dog who almost slipped out the front screen door to attack me ~ I was able to hold the door shut and things were resolved with no injury ~ please do your census and make sure your family is counted and pretty please, if the enumerator comes to your door, secure your animals ~ picture shown was taken from the 1880 Census count and compares how many people moved into each Delaware County, PA neighborhood since 1870 ~ all of Tinicum township went from a whopping 147 to 224 #fearofdogs #safetyfirst #censustaker #populationcount #countthepeople #population #ancestry #uscensus #enumerator #getcounted #vintage #midcentury #ephemera #vintageimage (at Ridley Park, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpzLRYnQTB/?igshid=1py32yba3jspi
