For all the marketing and buzz that the 2010 Census has generated, it was one of the most boring forms I’ve ever filled out. One question (Question 10 on the first page) didn’t even make sense to my roommate and me, since we’re currently living in “college housing” but don’t live here all the time.
Fortunately, through Twitter, I found the answer as to what students at college should do. Thanks, Pew Research!
So yeah. For all the hype, commercials and privacy concerns that have surrounded the Census this year, it was one of the most painless, boring forms that I’ve ever taken five minutes to complete.
I’m almost disappointed.
I’m pretty sure that’s not the only form.
I’m pretty sure that’s the only form we received in our packet, so that’s the only form we filled out.
I meant that more will come later, if I’m not mistaken. But I may be wrong
The most exciting part for me was listing Scott as my “unmarried partner.” I’m sure it’s meant to cover gay couples who live together, but I don’t care. We are partnered, and we are unmarried, just like they are.
True. Unfortunately there’s a lot of room for intentional user error… I know one set of (heterosexual) same-sex roommates who completed their form as “unmarried partners!”
