I sent the initial questionnaire back to them in March, noting that my crystal ball wasn’t working, and so I couldn’t say anything about who’d be here on 1 April.
They finally got around to leaving a note on my door with a phone number.
Since I’m a nice guy, and also because I didn’t want to be bothered, I called, told him that two people lived here, and that that was all the information I was required to provide. (I did mention that we’ve a couple of cats, who are people too...)
Anyway, he took it, and that was that, I hope.
On reflection, they already have all of this information for legal residents in one data base or another, so why bother us?
no kidding,... they should know how to find us at tax time.
Actually, you are not Constitutionally required to give even that. The government is required to count you. It doesn’t say you have to count yourself. I do agree with the original purpose of the Census though which is redidtribution of representation in Congress and will go along with giving the requisite information for that purpose, namely, “Two.”
