I completed my census form months ago and marked that I was living with my unmarried partner, both of us male.

Today a census worker showed up at my house checking on “abandonded” properties.  My property was listed by the census bureau as abandonded.

I filled in my census 10 years ago and again this year and both were sent in way ahead of time. 

So how could my property wind up listed as abandoned?  Is it a simple clerical error or did someone who processed my form decide to make my partner and myself not count?

Has anyone else had similar experiences?  Perhaps someone who works for the census bureau could provide some insight.
