Bethel, Census-designated place in western Alaska, United States.
The Bethel Census Area encompasses 45,504 square miles of terrain, including the extensive Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge and numerous river systems.
The United States Census Bureau established this administrative region in 1980 when dividing the Unorganized Borough of Alaska into distinct census areas.
The population maintains strong Yupik traditions, with 63 percent of residents speaking the Yupik language at home rather than English as their primary language.
Transportation within the census area relies primarily on air travel and water routes, as roads between communities remain limited in this remote region.
This census area contains terrain equivalent to the size of Kentucky, incorporating both mainland territories and Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea.
