Very intrusive. And given the fact that the survey demands name of each person in the home and asks specific questions of each one, I would probably throw Roe v. Wade and its “penumbra” which created the liberals’ vaunted right to privacy back in their faces and refuse to answer any information which is personally identifiable.
I index past census records into computer-readable programs and I have seen the creep of U.S. census information. Early census records were simply head counts by sex and whether minority or majority age, maybe acreage owned, then children’s ages were added, then citizenship, immigration year, whether a resident could read or write, race, marital status, relationship of residents to each other, whether the family owned or rented, birthplace, birthplace of parents of each resident. But nothing compares to the sample 2003 questionnaire. Truthfully, I’d have to spend a fair amount of time researching to even answer a lot of those questions.

That’s the truth. They even ask about savings accounts and what the last years average electric bills!
