IGNORE HIM! Don't call him. Don't insult him. Just IGNORE him. They have no power to do anything, and you have just pissed him off, so he is taking revenge in the way bureaucrats do.
EXACTLY!!!
First of all, IGNORE HIS INTRUSIVE FEDERAL-ASS!
But since you've tweaked his tail, now you have to get creative:
Get somebody (or do it yourself if you can alter your voice a bit) to call the alleged "census" person up, adopt a hispanic accent and say "Si? Dees ees Jose Jimenez, you left yor CARD at an abandoned house in my neighborhood? Nobody live there no more, but can you interview me? Can you help me get more in my social security check? Also, I have been on waiting list for new housing too long, can you move me up the line please? How soon can you come over? Can you bring me some extra blocks of cheese? Got any crackers? Hey, eet is yor JOB amigo, to help me! I got no income, so you gotta help me, si'?"
I can almost guarantee you'll never hear another word outta that creep.

Actually, it's a crime to refuse to respond to the Census Bureau, although I don't think there has ever been a prosecution.
Apparently, the right to privacy so clearly spelled out in... Article, um, no, I mean Amendment number, uh, well, anyway... of the Constitution only permits the dismemberment killing of children, not refusing to answer intrusive questions.
