Join NDA and all Iranians living in the US and take the Census survey in 2010!

Click To Learn More About the 2010 Census

It is a critical part of our rights as American citizens and residents that we partake in this once every 10 years survey. The representation of Iranians in the US has not been accurately measured. As such, our voice is not heard as loudly as it could or should. This is our chance to let our voice and culture be known in the US!

Don't miss this once every 10 years chance on April 1, 2010!

The next survey will be in 2020!!!

The survey is very simple, and easy to take and completely anonymous.

Please make sure when you reach the section regarding national identity and ethnicity that you mark your survey as "Iranian" or "Persian".
