Population Edits and Notes: "Census 2002 lists two additional provinces: San Jose de Ocoa and Santo Domingo. ú San Jose de Ocoa was formerly part of the province of Peravia, and became its own province in 2001. The 2002 population of San Jose de Ocoa was therefore added to Peravia. ú Santo Domingo is a district within the Distrito Nacional. For the purposes of joining data, Santo Domingo's population has been added to that of the entire province." |
