The only report my census "notes" appear on is the family group sheet --
which is the one I use for my "worksheet." If I'm printing one out for
someone else, I just omit the "events." If I'm printing one out for me, I
include the events, and use list style formatting, so the "notes" print.
But for my narrative reports, I use sentence formatting for the events,
and the "notes" don't print (for the census -- because I have it formatted
that way).
I tried putting it in the detail and printing that, but I didn't like the
way it turned out. I still have it in the source detail (as well as a
"picture"), I just don't have it print.
I messed with this for a long time, and am still playing with it, but for
now this makes me happy. Nauseating detail when I want it -- short and
sweet when I don't. LOL!
I really like the idea of using bold type on the individual it relates to,
though. I might go back and put that in. Thanks to whoever brought that
up.

I do the same Bruce, I find it makes for very tidy reports as it only
appears once at the end.

Several have responded to you about how they handle census data that
will probably be more helpful to you than what I do.
I have chosen the philosophy of keeping events VERY short (one line)
and putting the longer descriptive information/stories/etc. into the
General Notes. For census data, I uses a Census event with minimal
data (date & place of the census and some pertinent phrase in
Description). Then I source the event and put the "nitty details"
into the Source Detail Text (rather than in the Event Notes).
Just my approach for now. I may change as I go along (hopefully not).
