Native Americans living on some reservations and other remote areas must wait until June to participate in the U.S. Census due to COVID-19 restrictions. It’s a delay that some fear could lead to a drastic undercount.
Those living on reservations or hard-to-count areas, many of whom don’t have traditional addresses or internet and are dependent on post office boxes, must wait for census workers to hand-deliver their materials to their door. Those areas, which the census categorizes as “update leave” responses, include the Spokane Indian Reservation and significant swaths of sparsely populated north-central Washington.
