The decennial Census is required by the Constitution; it apportions congressional seats and determines how billions of federal dollars will be distributed to the states.
The federal government will send out workers beginning in May to knock on doors and complete the count, an expensive endeavor it estimates will cost about $56 per household - compared to $0.42 it will cost the government if the form is mailed back. The Census Bureau will base plans for in-person follow-up on the number households that haven't mailed back forms by April 19.

Well not everyone understands who should be included on their census form. If your relative is living with you temporarily because he's lost his home to foreclosure and will be moving out on June 1, you might not think he belongs on your form. He's not really a member of your household. The Census Bureau wants to make sure that you have included him. They've done extensive research on people's understanding of the census form and are trying to eradicate the most common errors.
