I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve completed a census form. It seems to ask for a good bit of info. Do they normally want the names, birthdays and specific ethnic info of everyone on your house?

I just put “wife”, ”kid1”, “kid2” etc for names and 4/1/2020 for all bdays.

Am I being paranoid or is the census bureau being kinda nosey?

They can't rearrange voting lines correctly without all that info dude!

All you're required to answer is how many people live at that address.

Yes, you're being paranoid.

If you put White as your race, it'll still make you list a nationality (English, Irish, etc).

So I put American.

That’s what I remembered but it’s been a really long time since I filled it out.

The mailer was addressed to “resident” and directed me to an online form (which was part of the census bureau website).

Just seemed weird to be asking for all of that. Maybe I’m a little on edge. Who knows

Your kids haven’t been born yet? It’s better to not fill out the survey if you are going to fill it out incorrectly

The website tells you that 4/1/2020 is the date that you put in if you don’t have bday’s.

All they need to ask is if you is who you say you is.
And how many people there is in your house.

I wouldn’t fill that out until Covid-19 is over. Never know how many you’re going to lose.

They literally asked name, birthday, and ethnicity.

It’s none of their business. Just file them in the circular file.

Well, I’ve actually considered re-naming my kids so their names correspond with their birth order. 1of4, 2of4...kind of like the Borg from Star Trek.

So it’s pretty accurate actually.
