Incorporated Places of 100,000 or More, Ranked by Population: 2000
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000 Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Summary File and 1990 Census.Internet Release date: April 2, 2001Note: 1990 Census population counts are
as published in 1990 census reports and do not include changes published subsequently due to boundary or other changes. In Puerto Rico, a zona urbana represents the governmental
center of a municipio (which is the equivalent of a county). Zonas urbanas are treated as Census Designated Places, as there are no incorporated places in Puerto Rico. See additional
documentation at bottom of table.
