U.S. Census Bureau launches once-a-decade head count in rural Alaska
BETHEL, Alaska - The U.S. Census Bureau, after being delayed for several hours by inclement weather, launched its latest once-in-a-decade head count of Americans on Tuesday in one of the most remote corners of the country - a tiny Alaska Native village on the Bering Sea coast.
But Dillingham and his entourage only remained on the ground for 30 minutes before returning to Bethel due to worsening weather conditions, spokeswoman Virginia Hyer later told Reuters. Story continuesThe Census Bureau traditionally selects one or more remote Native villages to begin its official enumeration. But the kickoff in Alaska is about more than counting residents. It is also meant to draw attention.
