Census 2010 Form in my Mail

My census form came today. It asks my name, gender, birth date, how many people are living in my apartment, their ages and our race.

TEN questions, just like they advertise, it does not even need a signature.

It does not ask for birth place, legal status, income, job status; nothing else.

It just needs the names and ages of the people living here.

This will help with a count of school children, this year and in a few years. It will help predict the number of police and fire fighters this area will need, will give a good idea of how much hospital space is needed and even will help predict roads, sewer and water needs in the next years.

No reason not to check the boxes and return it. So, I will.
