Good to know
Before you use it
- The Census Bureau estimates population only for incorporated places, and for Hawaii's communities. Most unincorporated places have no population here.
- County is the one where most of a city's people live. For an unincorporated place it is the county at the place's center.
- GEOID is the Census place code, so you can join this to other Census data.
- In every format, dates are written as yyyy-MM-dd, and yes/no values as true or false. An empty value means nothing was recorded.
