Part of the problem with this census that I've heard (& had myself) is them
asking questions about my income, what I drive, when I leave for work etc. I
know that this is suppose to help with the transportation issue (except for
the income part).....some don't see this is as helpful (mainly cause they
were all genealogist's).......
I've also run into some bad mannered census takers which can also cause
people not to want to deal with them.
