Census FAQs
1.	Why do the number of respondents differ from question to question?
a.	First, not every person was asked every question. Some of the questions were asked as follow-ups based on previous answers. For example, why should someone have to go through all the children questions if they already said they didn’t have any?
b.	Second, most of the questions did not require a response. Respondents had the option to skip the question without responding and in many cases they did. 
2.	I seem to remember answering a question on the census but I don’t see the responses here, why?
a.	We are still in the process of analyzing the data. Some of the questions require more detailed analysis before we can give an accurate response. Sometimes the data needs some context before we can really understand what it means. We will continue releasing information as we finish it. 
3.	On some of the questions, the percentages don’t add up to 100%. Did you calculate wrong?
a.	Some of the questions give the option of choosing more than one response. The percentages shown indicated that X percentage of the people who answered that question selected that particular response.
4.	I don’t remember some of those options on the questions, where did they come from?
a.	Additional categories were added based on “Other – please respond” open-text responses. As these responses were being coded, we added categories as needed. These responses are indicated by an *. 
5.	Why does it matter that you added a code?
a.	The added codes are options that we did not consider when creating the questions. Respondents felt strongly enough about it to add it as a write-in. These answers may have a higher response rate if they had been available as part of the checklist.
