r/Census

Anyone else annoyed of census !? Like wth.. I filled out the survey.. then two elder volunteers showed up at my house about two weeks ago telling me they need me to do it.

I told them I filled out the survey and that I would NOT do it again.. especially in person with people I do not know.

They have been coming back ever since.. I filled out the damn survey again in hopes it would make them go away but AGAIN they showed out. The lady told me the only way to make her go away was with my confirmation number.. like wtf? My confirmation number is confidential and I don’t understand why they need it.

I’m extremely annoyed. First off- the survey was extremely invasive.. why the heck do they need to know someone’s sexual orientation.. WHAT does that that have to do with anything. And why won’t these people leave me alone.. I filled it out two times. I’m no way in hell giving my confirmation code to people I don’t know so wtf..

I’ve read available info from press releases and Bureau website, but I’m baffled about where they would be hiring and what this role would do between now and 2030.The announcement says “Location negotiable after selection”, but your home is the duty station, and it seems the the 2026 surveys were in S.C and a few other small areas and have concluded. What would a permanent Field Sup be doing between now and 2030? Will there be other surveys in large metro areas before then? I am in suburban Cook County, Illinois. TY, in advance for any info! I am a new grad and managed all aspects of surveys as part of a research project.
