Having been selected as that small survey set; let me say that it in no way guesses.
I had to tell my income, how much my mortgage was, utility bills, how often I eat out, how many rooms in my place, what kind of cars I have, how much I spend on gas, how much on buses, where I eat.
LOTS of very personal stuff.
The first guy who asked I told him to go away.
The supervisor the sent over I told him I plead the fifth and I refused to answer the questions.
Then the THIRD guy they sent over explained to me that it was a crime not to go through the survey and they WOULD prosecute.
*&%&$^%#@!
A crime to refuse to answer questions in a survey? Uh okay
I didn't see in any of your posts that you speaking about the census.to mathjak's point the census does cover this topic and only ask about income I'm not sure what the point of your response to his post

the census does not ask about income at all , finances are handled by a small sample survey calles the acs. very few ever get that part and that is my biggest complaint about the financial data guessed at about all of us based on the few that get the american consumer survey form..
the 2010 Census form had nothing pertaining to income at all in it.
It asks only how many people live at the address, whether the home is rented or owned and whether it has a mortgage, and the telephone number of the residence. It asks seven additional questions about each individual at the address, including name, sex, age and date of birth, race and whether the person is of Hispanic origin or not, and whether that person sometimes lives or stays at another address.
they do not ask financial information in the census since in theory the census is mandatory to fill out. the acs survey which contains very personal information is not mandatory and many throw it away who do get it.

That you are either a troll or too lazy to even bother to look stuff up.
He post was about the accuracy or validity of the data and your response did nothing to address that
