Every 10 years, I get the census, every 10 years I answer only 1 question.

How many people live in your household?

And send it back.

The Census exists to track population for representative apportionment, every other question on the thing is irrellevant and if you answer them you are a fool.

Exactly, the constituion only wants a count.. That is all I give them.. they want to know how many people lived in my place on April 1st...This other stuff is BS.. I still have my long form from 2000, those questions are not related to my head count..

[AliVeritas]

Do you have the constitutional cites for that?

I’ll need them.

I can still remember sitting at my kitchen table in 1999 and my then girlfriend (now wife) couldn't believe I answered just that one question exactly how you described. She kept saying they need all of the information filled out or they'll get mad/come get you/etc. Of course, I asked her “what for”? She couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. I explained to her the constitutional purpose of the census you could see the light bulb turning on in her head.

If you are in a safe “red” area, count your dogs and cats.

If you are in a blue area, say you don’t really live there all year, or “1”

[MrsLilac]

Yep me too. The rest is blank. I’m amazed at how many will fill out all this garbage.

A lot of people must be fools. I got my ACS form a year or two ago. I just ignored it. Then a census worker called me and attempted to do the survey over the phone. I refused to answer the majority of the questions. This seemed to dumbfound her as if no one else had ever done the same thing.

I haven't heard anything since.
