These geographic entity tallies are provided in a comma-delimited ASCII text file format, one file per state and statistical equivalent. The last record in each state file includes a summary total of the counts for each Census 2000 geographic entity within the state. Note that some geographic entities including places, voting districts, state legislative districts, school districts, and ZCTAs can cross county boundaries. ZCTAs can cross state boundaries. Thus summing the total number of these entities by county will result in a total higher than the number of entities within the state. The record layout for the county geographic entity tallies is provided below.
