    Because we have been mapping every single house in the nation since 1790. That's how we make sure that every house is counted in the county/district...and how we make sure you get your Census form. We don't use the postal system, and have never used it, since it is often wrong, incomplete, or doesn't list an actual house, but a po box. Prior to GPS, 10 years ago and throughout history, we physically mapped out your house on a paper map.

    Hooo boy. Clueless people have been afraid of the census from the very first one.

    I've done historical research and the notes the census takers put on the forms would by hysterically funny - if it wasn't so paranoid and sad.

    They checked at my house too, and asked if it was a single family dwelling or multi. So it sounds like they are updating their addresses prior to taking the census.

    To identify the ones that have moved left so as to tax them at a higher rate to make up for the deficits they have caused.
