Census Adds Second Resident to One-Person Town

“The only resident of Nebraska’s only one-person town was surprised when she heard the news,” the Lincoln Journal Star reports.

“The U.S. Census Bureau was reporting Monowi’s population had exploded by 100% and was now home to two people, according to 2020 results it recently released.”

Said Elise Eiler: “Well, then someone’s been hiding from me, and there’s nowhere to live but my house. But if you find out who he is, let me know?”

“His name is Noise, and he was created by an algorithm to try to protect Eiler’s personal information. Monowi didn’t add another resident to its population, but the Census Bureau did.”
