Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

Census statistics and poverty[edit]

I removed the lines:

" None of the population and no families are below the poverty line.

Loving County is the only county in the United States with no persons below the poverty line in 2000."

This is false, according their own website (Loving County, Texas):

Thank you.

Broken Links[edit]

For some reason, link #1 in my recent edit works just fine (as in my Mentone edit), but other links did not until I put them into this somewhat unattractive formatting. If anyone can fix these so that they look "normal" and still work properly, it would be appreciated! Thanks! Ecjmartin 17:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Please add important note[edit]

Although there are no blacks in this small county we should note that the county overcame its racial disparity in the 2008 presidential primary by voting Seven to Hillary's Five votes for the first major black presidential candidate. This is important to note because even a microcosm of supposed backwardness such as this county is presented, the rest of the country can know that they are trying to overcome racist sentiment.

Population and votes[edit]

It's curious that with 67 residents in 2000 and an estimated 55 in 2007, 80 votes were cast in the 2004 presidential election. [[1]] Did LBJ rise from the grave? Dynzmoar (talk) 13:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

We're seeing this again this election, with 79 votes cast, but I guess the population could have rocketed up for some reason? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.26.206 (talk) 12:47, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

FYI: Assessment[edit]

I noticed there was an outstanding request for assessment on this so I took a quick look. Though there is a reasonable reference list the inline citations are pretty seriously lacking. Unfortunately can't justify more than a C class without having more complete referencing. --Mcorazao (talk) 22:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Terminology regarding establishment[edit]

Is it proper in the State of Texas to refer to a county's "incorporation"? In most US states, counties are not municipal corporations but rather subdivisions of the state, & hence are not truly "incorportated", but that alone doesn't mean that the priciple is universal? Does anyone here really know? If so, please tell me & if possible give a reference. 2600:1004:B110:78AD:ACAE:C2D7:9A2F:4FC2 (talk) 23:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

New census data[edit]

2010 census data puts Loving County at 82 people and Kalawao County, HI at 90, making this now the least populous county, instead of second-least. Can someone edit? thx 72.83.64.114 (talk) 14:35, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
