Legally defined county subdivisions are referred to as minor civil divisions (MCDs.) MCDs are the primary divisions of a county. They comprise both governmentally functioning entities that is, those with elected officials who provide services and raise revenues and nonfunctioning entities that exist primarily for administrative purposes, such as election districts. Twenty-eight states and Puerto Rico have MCDs. However, the MCDs function as general purpose governmental units in all or part of only twenty states. Within these twenty states, PEP produces estimates for all governmentally functioning MCDs and for nonfunctioning MCDs in counties that contain at least one functioning MCD. The legal powers and functions of MCDs vary from state to state. Most of the MCDs in twelve states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin) serve as general-purpose local governments. In the remaining eight states for which PEP produces MCD level estimates (Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) the MCDs, for the most part, perform less of a governmental role and are less well known locally, even though they are active governmental units.

Extractions: census population estimates text menu What is a population estimate? The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces July 1 estimates for years after the last published decennial census (1990), as well as for past decades. Existing data series such as births, deaths, Federal tax returns, medicare enrollment, and immigration, are used to update the decennial census base counts. PEP estimates are used in Federal funding allocations, in setting the levels of national surveys, and in monitoring recent demographic changes. A methodology reference accompanies most of our population estimates offerings. How are estimates different from projections? There is not a distinct dichotomy between population estimates and population projections, but there are some differences in time reference and derivation. Estimates usually are for the past, while projections typically are for future dates. Estimates generally use existing symptomatic data, for example, (births, deaths, migration), collected from various sources. Projections must assume future trends for fertility, mortality, and other demographic processes. At the Census Bureau, the population projections use the latest available estimates as starting points. In our current product offerings the user may see both an estimate and a projection available for the same reference date, which may not agree because they were produced at different times. In such cases, estimates are the preferred data.

Extractions: Geography and Politics Notes It is often easier in geography, something emphasized to me years ago as an undergraduate, to tell what geography is by what people do than to wade through the volumes of material available on the topic. Let me cite some examples. Maps . A friend of mine was finishing his master's thesis at the University of Wisconsin. It was a fine piece of work and the committee that was to approve it was pleased, yet they struggled with it. It was a geography thesis that did not have a map in it. Was it then geography they wondered? They asked him if something could be mapped, he said no. They asked him for a map at the start of some of the places mentioned, but it seemed window dressing. They let the missing map issue pass. Television Locations . My own research deals with the location of television shows. The messages people receive about places are significant from simple television shows. The features are repeated, and simplified the point that all can appreciate them. Store Locations . The woman who had her teaching assistant's desk next to mine at the University of Minnesota has spent her career locating stores. She has worked for companies that want to know the details of how a store will perform at a location prior to investing. She was involved in bringing her company into Columbia Mall at Grand Forks, North Dakota, and a lot of other sites.

Extractions: When we look at group of people and measure what they believe about government, and how they think people should act toward government, we are examining their political culture. To understand the relationship of a government to its people, and how those people are going to act toward that government and others, we need to study what those people believe about themselves and government, hence their political culture. National character is another name used for political culture. American National Character has a number of well-agreed- upon items. Items in this list have been worked over since the early 1800's. They are: Individualism Competitiveness Materialism Belief in Simple Solutions Faith in Reason Faith in Common Sense Moralization Anti-Intellectualism Distrust of Authority Anti-Leadership View Optimistic Forward Looking Non-Verbalized Ideology Conformity Complaining Humor Directed at Leaders Daniel Elazar (1966) found three political-culture types among Americans. These types are still viewed as relevant today. The following are his types and maps of where he found the types to exist.

Extractions: metro-area communities income map Fargo shows big gain, but small towns lose across N.D. David Peterson, Star Tribune Published March 22, 2001 North Dakota is experiencing a demographic meltdown unrivaled by any state in the nation, the U.S. Census Bureau reported on Wednesday: Eighty-seven percent of its counties lost population in the 1990s, compared with just one county in Wisconsin. Of the 2,300 U.S. counties whose populations have been released so far this month, North Dakota alone accounts for 12 of the 25 with the most severe percentage losses. More than half of North Dakota's counties are down to fewer than 5,000 people, a ratio higher than in any other state. There was at least one big piece of good news, however: The city of Grand Forks is back on track, doing far better than earlier estimates had indicated. The downsizing of Grand Forks Air Force Base, plus an exodus after the city's catastrophic 1997 flood, cost Grand Forks as many as 5,000 people, Mayor Michael Brown said, and the news that his city is essentially back to its 1990 population is "wonderful." Cass and Burleigh counties, the homes of Fargo and Bismarck, respectively, recorded the biggest gains. They added almost 30,000 people between them during the decade as rural folks continued to cluster in cities in search of jobs. Fargo grew by 16,488

Extractions: North Dakota: Geography Situated in the geographical center of North America, North Dakota is subject to the extremes of a continental climate. Semiarid conditions prevail in the western half of the state, but in the east an average annual rainfall of 22 in. (55 cm), much of it falling in the crop-growing spring and summer months, enables the rich soil to yield abundantly. North Dakota is one of the most rural states in the nation; the cities and towns supply the needs of neighboring farms, and industry is largely devoted to the processing of agricultural products. The eastern half of the state is in the central lowlands, a belt of black earth covered in spring by the soft green of sprouting grain and later by the bronze of flowering wheat or the blue of flax. Along the banks of the Red River lies a wedge of land, c.40 mi (60 km) wide at the Canadian border and tapering to 10 mi (16 km) in the south, that is the floor of the former glacial Lake Agassiz. Treeless, except along the rivers, and without surface rocks, this flat land was transformed into the bonanza wheat fields of the 1870s and 80s, with farms ranging in size from 3,000 to 65,000 acres (1,200-26,000 hectares). Today the average farm in the Red River valley is about 450 acres (180 hectares); the state average is about 1,000 acres (400 hectares). Its major crop, wheat, is varied with such crops as flax and seed potatoes.
