and that depending on the exact wording on the form you received, additional information as to the purpose of the form is available by finding the correct form at

You likely were selected to respond to the yearly American Community Survey
Despite the comments above mine which incorrectly tell you the census bureau only collects data every ten years... those are wrong statements.
Details for that Survey are at
Top Questions About the Survey.
In the FAQ section about that survey you are informed your participation is required, not optional and that you must honestly answer |
OP:
Please read the detailed information posted earlier. The belief someone else expressed about surveys from the US Census Bureau only every 10 years is false. Also, if you received the annual American Community Survey, the website of the US Census Bureau says this on the FAQ page:
“If your address was selected for the American Community Survey, you are legally obligated to answer all the questions, as accurately as you can. The relevant laws are Title 18 U.S.C Section 3571 and Section 3559, which amends Title 13 U.S.C. Section 221.”
Answering a survey you received from the Census Bureau is similar to jury duty. It is crucial to make things work and a duty to participate if selected.
Also, you may be able to submit your survey responses online rather than on paper. Go to the webpage of the US Census Bureau for your particular survey form to check.
