घरमा स्थाई रुपले कतिजना बस्छन तथा बसोबास गर्ने सबै व्यक्तिको जाती, उमेर, शिक्षा, लिङ्ग, वैवाहिक स्थिति, घरमुलिसंगको सम्बन्ध जस्ता प्रश्नहरू सोधिन्छन्। हाम्रो सोसिअल सेकुरिटी नम्बरको जानकारी सोधिदैन।
यसमा अमेरिकी नागरिक हो की होइन भन्ने प्रश्न छ?
कुनैपनि नागरिकताको प्रश्न छैन। जुन देसको नागरिक भएपनि हरेक ब्यक्तीको गणना गर्नु पर्छ।
के हाम्रो उत्तरहरु सुरक्षित रहन्छन्?

यो जनगणना किन महत्त्वपूर्ण छ?
जनगणनाको तथ्यांक प्रयोग गरेर विधायिका जिल्ला कसरी तय गर्ने, यु एस कांग्रेसमा कतिजना प्रतिनिधि पठाउने, अरबौं डलर को सहयोग कसरी र कुन ठाउँमा वितरण गर्ने जस्ता महत्वपूर्ण कुराहरुको निर्णय गरिन्छ। जुन तथ्यांक प्रयोग गरेर विद्यालयका परियोजनाहरु, यातायातका परियोजनाहरु , आकस्मिक र स्वास्थ्य सेवाका सुविधाहरु लगायत अन्य सरकारी तथा गैर सरकारी सेवाहरु कुन रुपमा र कुन क्षेत्रमा स्थापना गर्ने कुराहरु, जसले हाम्रो जीवनमा प्रत्यक्ष रुपमा असर गर्छ, निर्णय गरिन्छ। निजी व्यवसाइहरु पनि व्यवसाय कुन ठाउँमा स्थापना हर्ने भन्ने निर्णयमा जनगणनाको तथ्यांकको प्रयोग गर्छन्। यसले अर्को १० वर्षसम्म हाम्रो प्रजातान्त्रिक/लोकतान्त्रिक अधिकार र जीवनको गुणस्तर जस्ता अतिनै महत्त्वपूर्ण कुराहरुमा सीधा प्रभाव पर्नेछ।
यो जनगणना कहिले सुरु हुन्छ र हामीले के गर्नु पर्छ? *
