The last census I just ignored the same survey. They kept sending different people to my house, I wouldn’t answer the door. One Saturday one of these ladies approached me while I was doing yard work in the front. I just pretended she didn’t exist; they had no training on how to deal with someone who wouldn’t even acknowledge their existence.

My parents got "chosen" for the extra attention in the last census. They are retired, and had to put up with the nonsense for about 6 months, iirc.

In depth in-person interview, with follow-up calls.

I also remember them complaining that a Census call center was bugging them after 9PM on a Sunday night.

We they told me, I told them that I think ACORN got a contract to do that. Having some knowledge of call centers, I'm guessing that at best, they didn't flag the time zone, and at worst, didn't care.
