The Wyoming town of Lost Springs can finally count on the Census Bureau to get its population correct: Four, not one.
The Census Bureau somehow missed four other residents of the town when it counted only one person in 2000. The cause of that mistake wasn’t clear.
Leda Price, who lives on the west side of the one-block Main Street, joked that officials must have counted only her side of town. The census got it right in 2010 when it found and counted all four residents. Since the 2000 survey, two residents have died, and a newcomer moved into the town northeast of Cheyenne. The state highway department says it will change the town’s population on signs.
