We use text fields for checkboxes and print a text character to indicate that the checkbox has been ticked or not. This design makes it harder for case workers to click on checkboxes in Adobe Acrobat to toggle the value. Instead of clicking once to toggle, they must click into a text field and then remove or add a text value.

Checkboxes should work, when properly labeled: https://districthousing.org/dictionary#tickboxes

In your example image, you should create checkboxes with the following labels:
"Hispanic or Latino" -> EthnicityHispanicTickYes
"Not Hispanic or Latino" -> EthnicityHispanicTickNo
"Male" -> GenderMaleTickYes
"Female" -> GenderFemaleTickYes
