Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I refuse a census survey?

By census law, refusal to answer all or part of the census carries a $100 fine. The penalty goes up to $500 for giving false answers.

What is the census annual survey of manufactures?

The ASM provides statistics on employment, payroll, worker hours, payroll supplements, cost of materials, selected operating expenses, value added by manufacturing, capital expenditures, inventories, and energy consumption. It also provides estimates of value of shipments for over 1400 classes of manufactured products.

What happens if you dont fill out a US census survey?

If no response is returned or if the answers are incomplete the Census Bureau will follow up to get the information. The final population tally is used to divvy up more than $675 billion annually to states for all sorts of programs. By census law, refusal to answer all or part of the census carries a $100 fine.

Can you get in trouble for not filling out a census?

Refusing to answer either the short Census form or the longer American Community Survey form is a violation of federal law (Title 13, United States Code, Section 221). Refusing to answer is punishable by a fine of $100, while giving false answers carries a fine of up to $500.

What replaced American FactFinder?

On March 31, 2020, American FactFinder was decommissioned and is no longer available. Data previously released on AFF are now being released on the U.S. Census Bureaus new dissemination platform, data.census.gov. We are still working to migrate additional surveys and programs to data.census.gov.

What happens if you refuse to take the census?

The notice explains that if you dont complete the Census, you can be prosecuted and fined up to $222 a day. *See the 2021 Census Privacy Statement for more information. We expect most people will complete their Census online with no in-person contact from us.

What happens if you dont respond to the US census?

If you are living in the United States, you are legally required to respond to the U.S. Census and could be subject to a fine or limited prison term for non-compliance or false answers. However, the U.S. Census Bureau is not a prosecuting agency; and failure to provide information is unlikely to result in a fine.
