In my opinion, the census info itself is my source

That is my philosophy also. I consider the census a source for other
information, such as residence, occupation, and the usual bmd info.

Pre-1850 U.S. censuses I treat differently though.

I guess the one thing I ask myself before recording something as an
event is ... would I want it published in a report? I do not want census
events published, so I don't enter censuses as events.

To each his/her own...
