No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. Individual information collected in the taking of the Eighteenth Decennial Census will not be used for purposes of taxation, investigation, or regulations, or in connection with military or jury service, the enforcement of school attendance, the regulation of immigration, or the enforcement of any national, state. or local law, or ordinance.

The prompt, complete, and accurate answering of all official inquiries made by Census officials should be regarded as one of the requirements of good citizenship.
