The second week of March 2010, I received a short form letter from the Census Bureau stating that I would soon receive a census form that should to be filled out and returned as soon as possible. I do not remember any other information given to me in that first “Here comes the Census Form” letter. My thoughts were the announcement letter was unnecessary, the actual census form with a similar form letter attached would have sufficed. But enough of being a nitpicking drag.

Yesterday, I decided to do an online check to see if there was a hint to what questions would be asked, I typed “what questions will census forms ask?” The first listing was 2010.census.gov. Boy, that was easy, would the form be as easy to complete? I went to the site and was assured that this census form will be“One of the shortest forms in history - 10 Questions in 10 Minutes.” and allows you to download the questions you will be asked. You can find the questions here, along with detailed reasons for the questions.

Be sure to read, why being counted is important to you, your state and the U.S.

You will note the questions are straight-forward and do not require a lot of time or thinking. A postage-paid envelope will be included with the form.
