I just filled out my 2010 US census…..it took me 1 sec to write the number 4 and 3 secs to put it in the envelope. I dont know why they want all the other info but they wont be getting it from me.
Legally all you are required to do is list how many people live at the residence. The rest of the info is non sense and NOT important to anything to do with the US Govt. I do realize how important it is to send back the census and how it does help in important ways.
For an example:
It is predicted that New Orleans will lose about 300k residents on this census where as Provo, Utah will gain about 100k.
Why is this important?
New Orleans will lose 1-2 of their US REPS…… Provo will gain 1.
The same is true for Detroit and Cleveland and Youngstown….. they will all lose US reps.
While traditionally conservative areas will be gaining seats in the US house.
This is a wonderful aspect of the US CENSUS and probably the only good aspect.
