Census ‘“Elec*ironic*
Brain** Overlooks
Small Communities
An alert reader of the Nugget
recently inquired why the popu
lation of Savoonga was not in
cluded in the census statistics
made available last month. The
j Nugget in turn sent a query to
Rep. Ralph Rivers who immedi
ately went to work on the omis
sion and reports that the inquiry
; started a chain reaction and dis
closed many interesting facts. We
, quote from his letter:
“As we know, Alaska is unique
in many ways, and even the Cen
sus Bureau finds its usual methods
not suitable to the 49th State.
i Normally each census taker enu
merates 800 to 1,000 persons liv
ing in a compartively small area.
Approximately 400 enumerators
took the census in Alaska, mostly
I recruited from among school
teachers whose names were se
! cured from the Office of Educa
tion of the United States Depart
ment of Health, Education and
, Welfare. Each enumerator con
tacted between 500 and 600 people
j in Alaska, and was to indicate
I the limit of a village so that the
population of each community
could be tabulated. Since many of
these places are unincorporated
and have no legal limit, the enu
merator in many instances did not
recognize the same limits for the
community as do the local resi
dents.
“Most of the tabulation of the
census is done by “electronic
brains, however, the figures for
Alaska were hand tabulated, and
human error resulted. Also, Alas
ka is the only state where the
Census Bureau lists unincorporat
ed communities of less than 1,000
inhabitants, and the Bureau has
arbitrarily decided to list unin
corporated villages in Alaska of
25 or more persons.
“Now to your specific question
about Savoonga. As a result of
your interest I asked the Census
Bureau to recheck its figures, and
the books in the field office were
examined. They disclosed the fol
lowing population figures for
Savoonga:
1950 — 249
1960 — 299
“I thought you might also like
to know that the Census Bureau,
which is justly proud of its record
of accuracy and thoroughness, ad
vised me that it will again check
all the figures for Alaska and
either issue an erata sheet to the
report on Alaska’s population, or,
if there are too many errors, re
print the entire report. If there
is additional information forth
coming, I will be glad to forward
it to you.”
Since sending the query to Rep.
Rivers, Koyuk has called atten
to the fact that they were not
listed and as there were over 30
voters there in the last election
and the BIA school has 32 stu
dents enrolled, this too will be
called to the attention of the
Census Bureau.
