Why are local census representatives used to collect detailed financial information?
Local enumerators are used to distribute and collect census forms because of their local geographic knowledge, which ensures more complete coverage. All census representatives are sworn to secrecy and may be prosecuted under the Statistics Act should they ever reveal personal respondent information. In 2006, farm operators will return their questionnaires by mail directly to a central location. No local person will be looking at questionnaires.
