- Notes
- ↑ The Borough seat is Healy, a census-designated place.
- ↑ Edna Bay incorporated in October 2014 and thus not included in the sums for the 2010
- ↑ The Borough seat is Petersburg, a census-designated place.
- ↑ The Borough seat is King Salmon, a census-designated place, and is located in neighboring Bristol Bay Borough.
- ↑ A conflict as to the date exists between sources: 1996 Alaska Municipal Officials Directory (p. 136) gives 1977, while "Directory of Borough and City Officials 1974" (p. 72) gives December 23, 1963. It is unclear whether Selawik may have dissolved and later reincorporated its city government.
- ↑ Whale Pass incorporated in 2017 and thus not included in the sums for the 2010.[9]
- ↑ The totals reflect the 2010 Census numbers and thus include Petersburg, with a population of 2948 and a land area of 44.13 square miles (114.3 km2), which dissolved its city government in 2013 in favor of incorporating as a borough.[10]
