Garcia said forms are not available online, even though the bureau has embraced social networking to help get the word out this year. The bureau began preparing for the 2010 census in 2005-06 and officials did not feel they could guarantee the confidentiality mandated in the process.
“We’re keeping up with the times and sparking a conversation. This spreads awareness to a new segment,” she said. “Confidentiality trumps everything else. In 2020, the Internet might be a thing of the past. Who knows?”

Awesome! Yeah I kind of hope Chatroulette is the most internet thing that could possibly exist and from now on it's best to focus on how we're gonna live with regional augmented virtual reality nets.

Actually, I could imagine the Internet breaking back up into seperate national networks someday.

Williamsburg hipsters not submitting their census forms.
ROBERT SMITH: The biggest census procrastinators in New York City happen to live in the most self-consciously hip neighborhood: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Williamsburg is a magnet for kids just out of college, home of indie bands and ironic mustaches, wacky bikes and skinny jeans, and honest to goodness record stores like this one, Academy Annex.

SMITH: The Census Bureau is spending $133 million on advertising in dozens of languages telling people that the census is their civic duty, that it helps get federal funding in their communities, but the message isn't sinking in here in Williamsburg.

I just got this today.
Which I will happily fill out, of course. But apparently this only goes out to about three million households, which puts me in a pretty small percentile. Smaller still, since my household has one person in it.

My first thought, considering the identical questions on the first page, was that the Census Bureau was attempting to re-brand the Census form, and thought that maybe someone had been talking to Frank Luntz.

Mapping America: Every City, Every BlockBrowse local data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, based on samples from 2005 to 2009. Because these figures are based on samples, they are subject to a margin of error, particularly in places with a low population, and are best regarded as estimates.

For the first time in U.S. history, most of the nation’s babies are members of minority groups, according to new census figures that signal the dawn of an era in which whites no longer will be in the majority.Population estimates show that 50.4 percent of children younger than 1 last year were Hispanic, black, Asian American or in other minority groups. That’s almost a full percentage point higher than the 49.5 percent of minority babies counted when the decennial census was taken in April 2010. Census Bureau demographers said the tipping point came three months later, in July.The latest estimates, which gauge changes since the last census, are a reflection of an immigration wave that began four decades ago. The transformation of the country’s racial and ethnic makeup has gathered steam as the white population grows collectively older, especially compared with Hispanics.The census has forecast that non-Hispanic whites will be outnumbered in the United States by 2042, and social scientists consider that current status among infants a harbinger of the change.“This is a watershed moment,” said Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University who specializes in family issues. “It shows us how multicultural we’ve become.”

Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere -- I just thought it was demographics-related so I stuck it here.
