How To Answer Census Questions?

What questions on the U.S. Census form do I have to answer and what questions can I not answer?

  • Answer:

    I only answered the one about the number of people that live in my house. According to the constitution that's the only one they are supposed to ask. Anything else on that form is not the business of government.

You have to answer all of them. An accurate census helps everyone. Read this. http://www.examiner.com/x-14931-Pittsburgh-Public-Policy-Examiner~y2010m3d22-Pittsburgh-area-needs-accurate-census-data

All of them/none of them. It's just ten questions. Jeez.

I think that you must answer the number of people living at the residence and that was all the previous census form asked. According to the 1978 paperwork reduction act you only are required to provide answers to government forms with a valid OMB number, which this census form does not have. So if you dont answer something a census worker will come and ask you again, but there is no OMB number so ask them where the OMB number is according to the C.F.R.- (code of federal regulations) No OMB number, no answers to personal questions

YOUR name is not required, it will not involve personal information that would affect your privacy.This is done every 10 years to determine the representation needed by the amount of people .This is hard to understand but important to the people tel # is not required Please take time to do this.

You have to answer all of them. If you don't answer a question, a census work will come to your house and get the information. And you are required by law to talk to the census worker. Failure to answer all the questions can result in a $5000 fine.

The ONLY questions refer to the persons living in the house and they are the same. Don't worry all the Census is look to see is what nationality you are. The usual questions.
