Interesting, in Canada we mail them in, or we can fill them out online. Each
paper census that was delivered had a large unique number on it you had to
enter to do the census online (so they can match forms delivered to
responses, and addresses and whatnot). Seems alot more secure and cheaper
than "leave it out on the porch for a few weeks".
