I was in charge of a special census up north before I moved to TV. If one of my agents had behaved in such a manner I would have removed him/her from duty immediately. It is the responsibility of the census worker to obtain enough information to determine if each home is occupied. If it is determined that the necessary information cannot be obtained directly from the owner there is a way to specify that on the census form. The worker was out of order and should have reported to his superior that the owners would probably be counted at their primary residence.
