COMMON QUESTIONS

Rhode Island county map questions.

Why does Rhode Island have counties in Census statistics?

The five counties are valid areas for Census tabulation, even though they have no county-level government.

Which county contains Block Island?

Block Island is the town of New Shoreham, within Washington County. Use 44009 for the county fill.

Is Providence city the same area as Providence County?

The city is within Providence County, which contains other municipalities. Use 44007 only when your data describes the whole county.

How do I color Newport County’s islands consistently?

Select Newport County or join GEOID 44005. Every displayed part of the county uses its fill.

Can I import a five-county file even though the example has four rows?

Yes. The example leaves Washington neutral to demonstrate partial coverage. Add 44009 with a value to cover all five.

Why can Providence County gain population while losing net domestic movers?

Domestic migration measures net moves within the United States. Population also changes through births, deaths, international migration and statistical adjustments.
