American Community Survey: Must I respond?


Do I have to respond to the American Community Survey ?
Answer

Yes. Respondents are required to answer all questions on the American Community Survey (ACS) to the best of their ability. Response to this and other Census surveys is required by law (Section 221 of Title 13, Chapter 7, United States Code).


Wrong. The State is permitted a population census every 10 years in the constitution, anything else is illegal taking.

Personally I threw mine out.




Title 13 requires the Census Bureau to keep all information about you, and all other respondents, strictly confidential.


Except that there is no recourse if your info is broadcast,
and after some time, the info is made public.

Trust your government = fail.
