I just put down the number of people in the house and send it back...
They came out and I sent them away.
They pestered my neighbor and he said “Go ask them!” The other slammed the door in their face.
I like my neighbors.
I dare them to make a big deal out of it next time.
If they try to prosecute you, you'd have standing to contend that the census is a fraud and you might just win in court.
