The best way to get this reported is to go to the page where you found the error. On the far left, there will be a "Feedback" button. Clicking on it will take you to an emoji face, then an information box where you can report the error.
Doing this will send the report to the department that maintains the site so the correction can be made.

@Linda Thurson Galloway, actually, there's a very good chance that there is no Feedback tab where @SteveL3 found this misspelling: it appears to be in the waypointed collection for this census (https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/index?owc=7QK5-TJN%3A1589422311%2C1589437230%3Fcc%3D1473181).
I have never found a method by which to get such waypoints corrected. I reported errors in some collections over a decade ago now, with no change to be seen. At this point, I get the impression that there's nobody left at FS who knows how to edit them.

Thank you for pointing that out and including the link. I also noted that going to "Ahmper" from your link and then going to the images, it does appear that the census taker wrote Ahmper as the town and also the name of the Post Office.
I also noted that the censuses with the index panel does not have "Feedback" buttons, but allows for the editing of the indexed information. However, with the technical problems that has created, I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't recommend anyone else try it until we know the problems have been fixed.
