Footnotes:

  1. 1970 ward population data from January 2, 1973 letter from the City Attorney concerning ward redistricting. Ward populations adjusted using the official total city population for 1970.
     
  2. There is no record of ward populations using the 1980 US Census in City Attorney files. Since GIS-based Census count data were not available until the 1990 Census, 1980 ward populations must be calculated by hand.
