A census taker is an employee of the US Census Bureau who uses a computer to ask scripted questions to occupants of addresses chosen by statistical sampling and algorithms. The data gathered is heavily encrypted, transmitted, and combined with data from many addresses so that meaningful statistics can be created. These statistics are used at all levels of government to make decisions that affect everyone. The most important duty of any Census Bureau employee is ensuring that all data gathered, including names and addresses, are confidential and only known by Census Bureau employees with a need to know. Even the name of the survey a participant was involved in is extremely confidential. Any violation or breach of this duty will probably result in huge fines and jail time.
For an example of the statistics created, go to census.gov and click on "American Factfinder". Different surveys create different statistics.

How to Keep census workers off my property with force?
People in the United States are required to be counted during the census, which is conducted every ten years. This generally means that the names and ages of everyone in a household must be provided to the Dept. of Commerce, which administers the census. This requirement is described in Title 13 of the United States Code. Most people respond to the census by completing a form mailed to most households. Those household that don't return the form are visited by a census worker to conduct the census personally. The use of force to repel a census worker is a federal crime. It's not likely you will be charged with a crime for failing to respond to the census (although it's possible), but the use of force against a census worker will almost certainly bring the police and the possibility of local or federal criminal charges.

Do you have to take a drug test to be a census worker?
It is a government job, and most U.S. government jobs require drug testing. My brother worked as a census taker last summer, and he was very worried about this. We did some internet searches, and they all said yes, you do have to take a drug test to be a census worker. However, my brother did NOT get drug tested for the job. I'm sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer. I guess the best thing to do would be to abstain from drugs for as long as you can before you start work, just in case.

How did Mormons display several wifes in us census?
It depends on how the family was living. If all the wives lived in one home, the census would list multiple adult women living in the same home as an adult man. If the wives lived at seperate addresses, then each address would list one adult woman. Whether or not each woman was listed as a wife is not consistent, and just depends on what they told the census worker.
