About 10,000 census surveys in Brooklyn are being redone after two local managers reportedly filled out many of the household surveys themselves, officials said.

Tony Farthing, regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau, said that over the weekend of June 12, the two managers, Alvin Aviles and Sonya Merritt, began using online databases to fill out households surveys instead of collecting the information the correct way: by knocking on doors. Mr. Farthing said that Mr. Aviles and Ms. Merritt were fired after census officials, tipped off by whistleblowers, confirmed the improprieties, which were first reported in the New York Daily News.
