I don't think there is a penalty except for ignoring the census altogether.
But I do know that you might have a census taker show up at your door......I did,
and so did my son.....wanting the form filled out more completely. We both
refused and she went away..

No one has been here yet, but then I haven't received any forms yet either.

I got the form about a month ago, then a follow up card when I didn’t go online and do it.

Why don’t you just not answer questions to which you object? As far as I know, there’s no penalty for leaving the race question unanswered.
I feel that the census is a necessary and useful tool for the Federal Government. Also required in the Constitution.
The most important question on the form is the name of the head of household, age and the number of people living there and their ages. That is a census.
The second most important question is not on the form. It has to do with Citizenship status. And since the God Damn Democrats got it thrown out of the census, I will refuse to answer any further questions.
I am an American by birth in America to American parents. The question about citizenship just asked if you were, how you were and if not. For the 'if nots', it didn't go into legal or illegal or what visa you were in America on. Everything else is nice to know information and very valuable but unnecessary.
One of the least valuable is the damn race questions. My race is the HUMAN Race.
Or how many toilets I have. (That depends, do you count the kitchen and bathroom sinks as emergency urinals)

Yes, in small town America, the breadbasket of America, if you are not a newcomer, everybody knows your name. They recognize you because they know you, they are your neighbors, babysit your children, shop in the same grocery store, go to the same post office and beauty shop, use the same dentist and doctors, take your dog to the same veterinarian they take theirs to, and stop in to say hello and bring you flowers and dinner if they know you are under the weather. In other words, they are your friends and care about you, unlike city folk who ignore you, and have no problem pretending you are a nonentity. We have lived in both worlds and prefer small town life.

Before the efforts to make voting take eight hours by closing polling places, your neighbors worked the polls. I remember when my Mother would work the polls, usually set upon someone’s garage
