In Nevada, we consider Carson City both a county and a city and count it as one of 17 counties.
I have noticed some inconsistencies in the numbers for the "areas" of the counties. Basically, we have to agree on a definition of what the term area means in order to be consistent. Some of the area figures include only land area, whereas others include water area along with land area, therefore becoming "total" area. I believe that it is more logical to include only land area in these figures because counties with extensive coastlines and those on large lakes such as the Great Lakes can have their "areas" grossly inflated because of included offshore water areas. For example, North Slope Borough's area is given as 94,763 sq mi, which actually breaks down as 88,817.1 sq mi of land and 5,945.5 sq mi of water. Backspace 06:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
YES. This should be remembered and considered when all of these numbers are re-calculated to reflect the new census numbers for 2010. It is ridiculous to use total area to calculate things like population density because PEOPLE LIVE ON LAND. Take San Francisco County, for example. Total area is more than 5x the land area because SF county includes a giant chunk of the Pacific Ocean. DFS ( talk) 06:32, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
