User:Tcr25, does — mean that we believe data exists somewhere? Also, can you add a legend to explain the grey background.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:17, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I tend to use an em dash instead of a blank box in tables. If it's against MOS or confusing, feel free to remove. The shading is explained in the lede... Basically, it's noting that these aren't states at the time of the census in question. --Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 03:29, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
