How citations work
Each article has numbered notes. A superscript number after a sentence links to a note at the foot of the page, and the note links to the original source. Where several sources support a sentence, all are cited. Figures from the decennial census are labelled with their year (2010 or 2020). Figures from the American Community Survey are labelled with their five-year period, for example 2020–2024.[1]
