Proper tool rights must be assigned to request updates to My Demographics. See the Census Tool Rights document for more information.

Users can request a new household/address when moving to ensure the school's information is accurate or modify an existing address if the information is incorrect. In Census, a person can have more than one address (e.g., a P.O Box address for mailing and a street address for location information).  Because of this, all existing current addresses are listed for the household.

When requesting an update to an address there are two sections that may be modified:

  • Household - This is the indication that this address receives mailings and also contains the household phone number.
  • Address Detail - This is the display of the address fields.

There are two reasons an address should be changed - the address or household information is incorrect or the person has moved.  Requesting address update information require the selection of one of these options.
