1 Census 2000 counts are as
published in Census 2000 reports and thus do not include any changes
published subsequently due to boundary changes or to the Count Question
Resolution program. |
2 In Alaska, which has no
counties, there are four types of primary divisions of the state that are
county equivalents: borough, census
area, city and borough, and municipality. |
3 The county equivalent of
Anchorage Municipality and the incorporated place of Anchorage municipality
are coextensive. |
4 The county equivalent of
Juneau City and Borough and the incorporated place of Juneau city and borough
are coextensive. |
5 The county equivalent of
Sitka City and Borough and the incorporated place of Sitka city and borough
are coextensive. |
6 Prince of Wales-Hyder
Census Area and Petersburg Census Area were created after Census 2000. There are no Census 2000 populations for
these two county equivalents. |
