Do I have to answer all the questions on the Census

""In addition to collecting population data for the purposes of accurately apportioning congressional districts, the federal government uses census data, among other reasons, to determine:

* The allocation of federal funding for education programs in states and communities.
* National social and health statistics used by a variety of agencies for policy purposes.
* The allocation of federal dollars for law enforcement, federal highway projects, aid to farmers and many other federally financed activities and programs.
* A wide variety of economic statistics that become the basis of the nation's economic policies.
