1. Population and Area
[Area figures represent area on indicated date including in some cases
considerable areas not then organized or settled, and not
covered by the census. Total area figures for 1790 to 1970 have been
recalculated on the basis of the remeasurement of states
and counties for the 1980 census, but not on the basis of the
1990 census. The land and water area figures for
past censuses have not been adjusted and are not
strictly comparable with the total area data for comparable dates
because the land areas were derived from different base data,
and these values are known to have changed with the construction of
reservoirs, draining of lakes, etc. Density figures are
based on land area measurements as reported in earlier censuses]
