    Default How Much Info Must I Give to Census

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: OR

    Hello,

    With the 2010 census coming up, and with ID theft and other privacy issues, I'm wondering how much info is legally required to be divulged to the census taker.

    Make sure they have all the proper paperwork and do not give SSN or other private info. If you feel uncomfortable with the census taker, you can request another by getting the local contact number from the taker and calling them.

    What information are they requesting that you are uncomfortable with providing?

    cbg, they haven't been to my house yet. I just want to be prepared. I've been through the last census and while I don't remember all the questions that were asked, I wasn't prepared for the invasive nature of the questions. I am a private person and prefer not to give out information that isn't necessary.

    zedex, when you say don't give out "SSN or other private info", what exactly do you consider private info to be - from a legal standpoint?

    They will not be asking for your SSN. Here are the questions involved:
