I’m a Census taker and we actually started working on Sunday, not today. From my first 2 days on the job I can say part of the reason for the high non-response is there are a lot of of vacant, abandoned or demolished homes that have to be visited to determine their status. To “nope” who thinks the government already knows everything they need to know, the Census is an independent count of the American people. You’re right that between the IRS, credit agencies, Google, Facebook, ect… everything the Cesus is asking is already known information. But the Census doesn’t get information from anyone else and doesn’t share information with anyone else. All the information provided to the Census remains strickly confidential for 72 years and can’t be used for any other purpose.

Everyone in my husband’s office was very confused to receive a paper census form. Obviously, they did not fill it out. Today, a census taker showed up and had no idea how to correct their information that the office was not a residence.

Perhaps this is part of the reason why some of the 39% of addresses have not responded? They are workplaces, not homes.

I completed the online census for my household months ago. My husband and his co-workers do not need to be counted twice.

This is to respond to Charlotte Rebecca Bates and her like.
They pride themselves of being independent. They have dogs that ” will be disappointed, cause they didn’t get a visitor to slobber and jump up on, but I’m sure the person will appreciate it.”. This is swaggering and nothing else. They are proud of thinking they are being independent, but are they? They will call 911 anything happens, heart attack, criminal invasion, power failure, phone service off etc. Power gets cut off, will they lose their dogs on the repairing crews? Your doctor quits. Where do you get your medicines, self sufficient lady? What are you going to do once your electricity gets cut off, and why it shouldn’t? Nobody lives there according to the latest census.

Thank you Steve. I didn’t think about that. My dogs will be disappointed, cause they didn’t get a visitor to slobber and jump up on, but I’m sure the person will appreciate it. Thanks again for letting me know that.

All of those people trying to be so secretive don’t even understand that they’re hurting themselves. The Census count is what determines how many representatives you get in Congress, and how many electoral votes your state gets in Presidential elections. Why anyone would deliberately cut themselves short is beyond me.

The U.S. Constitution goes over many of our rights and responsibilities. The census is a very simple responsibly listed in the constitution. It isn’t like we have not been given opportunity to respond before now. If you can spend 10 minutes a day on northescambia.com, surely you can submit your five minute response to the census.
