*   Rankings are based on unrounded numbers.  Therefore, identical
    rounded values may appear in the table, but ranks may differ.
    However, in the case of a true tie, counties share the same rank
    and the next lower rank is omitted.

NA  Not applicable.

appearing in 1990 census publications.
