population tally

El Molar has one bar, one church, no restaurants and an official population tally of 237.

That would depart from the longstanding model in which the population tally, taken once every 10 years, was the marker for everything that followed, even if it was long outdated by year six or seven.

The data released Monday shows no relationship between a state’s share of Hispanic residents and whether the state population tally turned out to be lower than projected.

The population tally is significantly smaller than recent Census Bureau estimates, but still nearly triple the growth recorded the previous decade.

The population tally was scheduled to officially get under way with a ceremonial visit of Census Bureau chief Steven Dillingham to the home of a tribal elder in Toksook Bay, a Yup’ik village about 500 miles west of Anchorage.
