There is just no way they count every individual. I live in California and was visiting someone in the central valley. For fun I drove some back dirt roads into some hills and there was a small corrugated sheet metal building style settlement with 20ish people hanging around it a ways back in. It really made me wonder how many people are tucked away. Not like a 24 year old kid who gets a college degree and intentionally lives off grid, but poor/uneducated people who eke out a living somewhere off the beaten path.
