Notes

When selecting more than one component from the same geographical level, Social Explorer provides a total for these components in the "All Selected Geographies" column. This total is for the available geographies only within the same geographical level. When a value is missing from one or more components from the same geographical level, Social Explorer denotes it with an asterisk (*) in the All Selected Geographies column.

  • Counties of Bottineau, Cavalier, Desmet, Gingras, Logan, McHenry, Mercer, Renville, Rolette, Sheridan, and Stark of Dakota Territory (present day North Dakota), counties of Cheyenne, Delano, Edmunds Forsythe/Fall River, Gregory, Hyde, White River/Jackson, Lugenbeel, Mandan, McPherson, Potter, Pratt, Presho, Tripp, Ziebach (Old),and Unorganized Territory of Dakota Territory (present day South Dakota), and counties of Andrews, Bailey, Carson, Castro, Cochran, Dallam, Hale, Hockley, Lamb, Moore, Ochiltree, Parmer, Sherman, Terry, Yoakum of Texas are all recognized as counties but do not have any demographic counts. Dickerson County, VA is missing all demographic enumerations except for “property value” and “taxes.”
  • Alaska and its counties contain only total population and white population counts without other enumerations.
