[edit]Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
What's the source of the "Villages" data? The reason I ask is that villages in Vermont are incorporated municipalities, and thus the "census division" comment at the bottom of the page is entirely erroneous -- except that the things listed as "villages" are not, in fact, villages: they are all undifferentiated parts of the City of Barre. (Only towns can have villages within them.) There may in fact be incorporated villages in Washington County, but research would be required to update the list. (The Census of Governments might help, but the Vermont Secretary of State's office is probably the official source.)
The Census Bureau has a very strong methodological bias against the New England form of local government, much to the irritation of those of us who live here and have to make sense of the Census data.

- It's a huge mess in WP, don't think anybody has any good ideas about how to reconcile the officialness of the Census with the different officialness of the local government. Posting to the talk page of the Wikiproject above would be a good way to get some discussion going. Stan 03:58, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
