Note: The April 1, 2000 Population Estimates Base reflects modifications to the Census 2000 population as documented in the Count Question Resolution program, updates from the Boundary and Annexation Survey, and geographic program revisions. An “(X)” in the Census 2000 field indicates a locality that was formed or incorporated after Census 2000 or was erroneously omitted from Census 2000.  Additional information on these localities can be found in the Geographic Change Notes (see “boundary changes” under the Geographic Topics section of the Estimates page).
