If the Village of Kenmore is not included in the Town of Tonawanda then the census information here is wrong. As per the Town of Tonawanda web page the information here includes the population of Kenmore.

There's no good reason to treat Tonawanda differently from every other community in the United States. Nyttend ( talk) 18:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)The canonical form for cities in the United States is [[City, State]] (the "comma convention"). Those cities that need additional disambiguation include their county or parish (for example Elgin, Lancaster County, South Carolina and Elgin, Kershaw County, South Carolina).

Population stats in the article show the 1970 population was 107,000, the 1980 figure has dropped to 91,000 and the 2010 count was way further down at 73,000. The article needs a paragraph giving the reason for this. Moriori ( talk) 22:02, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
