Population Edits and Notes: "Mismatch problems between the population data and the boundary data led the following Communes (administrative level 3 units) to be dropped from the population data because we have no boundaries nor information about their location: Ciugud (in Alba); Cosesti and Mioveni (in Arges); Buchin (in Caras-Severin); Costinesti and Ghindaresti (in Constanta); Vale Mare (in Covasna); Rovinari (in Gorj); Gen. Berthelot (in Hunedoara); Poienelei Izei (in Maramures); Cornu (in Prahova); Treznea (in Salaj); and Silistea (in Teleorman). The total population of these units are 77, 162, about 0.35% of the total population of Romania in 2002. There are also Communes were population data is not available, and were therefore assigned a population of zero (0): Sintea Mare (in Arad); Colibasi (in Arges); Sinteu (in Bihor); Sintereag (in Bistrita Nasaud); Cernele (in Dolj); Unirea (in Hunedoara); and Goranu (in Valcea).The Municipal growth rates between census years 1992 and 2002 applied to 2002 Commune population to extrapolate to target years.
