<5>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Topaz Lake. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.
