- When the Census Bureau conducts a census for a community like Greens Grant, they draw a boundary around the area in which they are going to conduct their count - this defines the sampling area (usually a polygon). The shape of the sampling area can be quite complex and it's important to keep in mind that the boundaries of the sampling area may or may not match the recognized boundaries of the community.
- Things like population, area and housing for Greens Grant reflect the sampling area. Since the shape of the sampling area and the actual boundaries of Greens Grant might be different, it's best to check with the U.S. Census Bureau to resolve any difference between the two.
- Not only does the sampling area define boundaries, it also has a GPS location (latitude & longitude) that indicates a point within the sampling area (usually the center of the polygon, known as the centroid). At the time of the 2010 Census, the sampling area was located at:
- Lat: 44° 17' 24" (or 44.29°)
- Lon: -71° 13' 5" (or -71.22°)

| <1> | Every year, the US Census Bureau creates a population estimate for the preceeding year. Keep in mind that this value is an estimate and not an actual count. The most recent Census estimate is for the year 2019. |
| <2> | Every 10 years (eg- 1990, 2000, 2010), the US Census Bureau conducts a Constitutionally-mandated count (or enumeration) of people living within the United States. This count is called a Decennial Census. The last Decennial Census was the 2010 Census, with the next one planned for 2020. |
| <3> | It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Greens Grant may originally have been Green's Grant. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Greens Grant might be written as Green Grant. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Greens Grant. |
