- indicates subdivisions that no longer existed as of the 1990 Census, or were renamed or split after the 1990 Census.

* During the indicated years, population and mortality data are assigned to the subdivision itself.

** All data from Aleutian Islands (1968-1993) were assigned to Aleutians East Borough.

*** Because Broomfield County is not coded on the multiple cause-of-death mortality files, the population of Broomfield County was reallocated back into the counties from which it ceded (Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld) in proportion to the population of those counties in 1999.

NOTE: The primary political divisions of most states are termed counties. Prior to 1982, Alaskan county equivalents were called districts, divisions, or islands. Since 1982, Alaskan county equivalents were reclassified as boroughs or census areas. Virginia has many county-equivalent cities that are or were independent of any county organization.
