The portion of Alaska that is not within organized boroughs is covered by a single "unorganized borough," a legal entity administered by the State government. Because the unorganized borough is too large geographically to provide a suitable basis for data analysis, the State of Alaska and the Bureau of the Census have divided it into "census areas" for statistical purposes. The census areas are identified in the list by "(CA)" following the name. Data systems that use the unorganized borough may code it as 999. Changes since FIPS PUB 6-3: Aleutian Islands (CA) (010) was replaced by Aleutians East (1978 October 23) and Aleutians West (CA) (1990 January 1); Kobuk (CA) (140) was replaced by Northwest Arctic (1986 June 2); Lake and Peninsula was established from part of Dillingham (CA) (1989 April 24).
