It's Safe
Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census. The Census Bureau cannot share your information with anyone, including other government agencies, law enforcement entities, or even the President of the United States.
Moreover, the Census Bureau takes great care to avoid disclosing any statistical information that could reveal private information about an individual, household, or business. Read more about the Census Bureau's disclosure avoidance efforts.
All Census Bureau employees are subject to a $250,000 fine and/or a 5-year prison term for disclosing any information that could identify you or your household.
