"What can I do to make this guy cease and desist?"

Just answer his questions with obvious lies.

Call the Census Bureau. Find out if the guy is legit, and tell them to stop him, or else.

umm, why not just answer his questions. The information you give is not stored with your name nor shared with the IRS. The purpose of gathering such info is for legitimate use. I am one that rarely gives out any personal info unless necessary but to a census worker I would not have a problem.

Try some tricks from Christopher Walken's census sketch.

Census-Taker: No, it's not that ridiculous. Mr. Leonard, do you own or rent this apartment?

Mr. Leonard: Sure. You have to ask one of the other 79 people.

Census-Taker: You mean your wife?

Mr. Leonard: Yeah.

Census-Taker: Well, can I talk to her, then?

Mr. Leonard: She won't answer you. She's a bobcat.

Census-Taker: You got a bobcat in there?

Are you sure he works for the census buro? Fed Investigators have been known to use that disguise to get info on people to later use against them. Be careful.

Not according to the Constitutional limitations prescribed for the census.

Ever seen the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Our three adventurers approach the Hogwallop estate and are greeted in the drive by young Hogwallop, who fires a rifle at them.


Young Hogwallop: Popa says I's supposed to shoot bankers and anyone with papers.

Delmar: Well, we ain't got no papers.

Young Hogwallop: Yesterday I nicked a census man!

Delmar: Now there's a good boy.


Scene makes me laugh every time.

Take out an order of protection against them. Their behavior is very questionable.

The legitimate Constitutional purpose of the census is to apportion representatives. Therefore they need a count of people every ten years. Asking questions about "mostly income and work-related stuff" between the ten year count isn't a legitimate use.
