I'd been planning to take the Fifth and write a rant to go with it explaining why. There were half a dozen things wrong with the forms and associated package purely aside from the questions themselves. But it wasn't a high priority, so I ended up not returning the form.

I didn't answer even that question. I did not return the form.
My result was the same as yours: No visits or inquiries.
That's a shame. If I get fined $100, I can write a column about my experience and sell it for much more.

I only answered the first question in the last census: how many people live at that address (or something to that effect). The rest I crossed out with fat black permanent marker. The result: no visits from the census taker. No inquiries from the Census Office. No fine. No repercussions of any kind.
I am puzzled why anybody would have bothered to answer the remaining questions.
