There wasn’t a 2010 long form. The 2010 census had about 10 questions: sex, race, age, ethnicity, as well as your relationship to the primary homeowner and whether the home was owned or rented. Nothing about money or jobs.
There used to be a long form in 2000 and before, but this was spun off around 2005 to become a separate annual sample-based survey called the American community survey.
- devwastaken 5y agoYes, 2000's my mistake. A relative of mine did this in 2000's and before. It was quite invasive, requiring information about the number of types of rooms in households and plenty of other information people were not comfortable giving.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoThe solution to this is to not ask, and instead aggregate this data from open sources like the local tax assessor, or closed paid sources like the MLS or similar real estate transaction corpus. This accomplishes whatever the objective is without putting census takers in danger due to unruly/belligerent interviewees.
