The polite girl said she will be returning tomorrow. She told me it's mandated by the constitution that I answer these questions. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Yes. You are required by the US Constitution to provide certain basic information to the Census Bureau.

Id rather fill out the form than have to deal with somebody coming to my home.
I agree with Moe. What's the big deal?
