Census population, by community area
The census counts places, not membership. This Nation has no matched census areas, so the figures are shown per area rather than added together.
We could not confidently match this community to a census area, so we show nothing rather than guess.
The band to census area link is ours. No official one exists, so where the evidence disagreed we leave it unmatched.
