Note 1: The only incorporated place in Hawaii is the City & County of Honolulu. A portion of it, the Honolulu District, is sometimes regarded as the "city" for statistical purposes, although it has no government separate from that of the City and County as a whole. The U.S. Census Bureau defines Honolulu CDP (Census Designated Place) to coincide with the Honolulu District. Thus for Hawaii, the largest CDPs are ranked.

Note 2: In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the population of Baton Rouge to be larger than the population of New Orleans.[4] The estimated 54% drop in New Orleans' population since 2000 is likely due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina.
