NOTE: Local areas in 48 of the states are known as a County. In only two states is this designation different. In Louisiana, they are known as a Parish. In Alaska, they are known as a Borough. Much of the more densely populated parts of the state are divided into boroughs, which function in a manner similar to counties in other states. However, uniquely, boroughs do not cover the entire land area of the state. The area of Alaska not part of any borough is referred to as the unorganized borough.
For the 1970 Census, the government of Alaska and the U.S. Census Bureau divided the unorganized borough into census areas. However, these areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation. They have no government of their own. There are services provided by borough governments that are provided directly by the Alaska state government in the unorganized borough.
