I read them all, although I saw very little intelligence being exhibited in most of them. Maybe you need to read the one right after yours to learn something about the census and what you have to answer.
I did not ask you about the intelligence of the posters. I stated that most people said they were sending in the census. You are the one who claimed that people were not sending them in at all. As for the poster after me.....I disagree.
Does every household get the long version eventually? I completed a regular one page census form a few weeks ago and I thought I was all done.
The census forms aren't being sent out until March....I have no idea what you filled out or who you are really sending that information too but it most likely wasn't a real census.
There are census scammers out there...you should be careful. I hope you didn't give them personal information.
A census would ask for the Names of the ppl living in the household, ages, sex, birthplace, etc. the census worker would know how many ppl are living there by the detailed info required.
Only if they cross referenced. That is, if both of us answered. The honest truth is that if some form comes to my apartment mailbox--especially if it's addressed to "Resident" it's going to get tossed out. All my "important" mail goes to a PO Box, and has for years.

I think what I filled out came from my town, and it only had a few questions, and I just had to verify if it was correct.
Thanks for the heads up though! Imagine filling out all of that information for a scammer, ugh!
It sounds like there are people who feel strongly about answering all of the questions, and others who are strongly against giving out all of that personal information.....does anybody know where to find out what the laws are for sure?
I personally used to be very trusting, however, now I would rather only list what is needed.
