Census American Community Survey … Did you get a letter?
1-20-22

Just wondering how many others were sent a letter to respond to this? I got one after the previous census also.
Wish they'd take me off their list.

The official census is every ten years. I serious be suspicious of you’re getting a letter about it now.

It's the ACS [American Community Survey].
You DON'T want to get one of those.

Oh, is that what that was?
We threw ours in the trash.
They say it must be completed. My copy of the constitution says different.
No one has ever been prosecuted.

I got one. It’s pretty nosy. On the question, what ethnic nationality are you?
I answered “American”

You may get a knock on your door by someone wanting you to fill out the info while they are present. It happened to my father after he threw his away.

Answering some of the questions made me uncomfortable.

They send out 3.5 million letters annually and it’s supposed to be random and they are supposed to take steps to avoid sampling a household more than once every 5 years.
It’s okay to tell them no or ask to be removed from their list.
Personally, I like to make stuff up and make it useless to them. Haven’t heard from them in over a decade.

It's a statistical sampling of the populace, conducted apart from the normal decennnial.
Don't engage in any manner whatsoever if you don't want to fill it out.
You've already engaged, so this advice doesn't apply to you, nuconvert.

Yes, My guess is that if we misbehave, they can get us on perjury charges.

Just ignore them. They can’t force you to participate and with all of the illegal aliens one American here or there not being counted doesn’t matter anyway.

My supervisors in the 2010 and 2020 decennials were ACS in the off years.
They were freaking GOOD at what they did. Your only hope is not to engage in any way, shape or form.
If they tackle you in the driveway, tell them you're house-sitting.

“It’s okay to tell them no or ask to be removed from their list.”
Here’s what the letter & the envelope it comes in says: “ YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW”

Haha. How do you know who they are until you answer the door? You have to train yourself not to answer the door.
Many people have trained themselves to not answer the phone.
Notably, the older set still has trouble with that one, which is why they're victims of phone scams more than other age brackets.

I worked for the Census Bureau in ‘20 and ‘21. Many people don't know that it's a permanent division of the Department of Commerce.It's main task is the decennial Census but it's also continuosly gathering and compiling statistics on the country's people and economy.
