While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. <3> A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Reno refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a city's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Reno may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. <4> Population counts have been provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.

That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
