Notes
1980 Census
The Census Bureau made a number of revisions to 1980 census totals subsequent to their initial release. The 1980 total for Androscoggin County was originally reported as 99,657; for the town of Poland, 3,578; and for the town of Minot, 1,631. The totals were later revised to those shown in the list above. At least part of the issue may have been an assignment error between the two towns, as Poland’s total increased and Minot’s total decreased, but not by the same amount, as the overall county total also changed.
