Confusion regarding Automation Alley

The area is not coined Automation Alley because of its automotive economic base, as far as I know. It's still important to include the Alley in the intro paragraph but the connection isn't quite right. I will ask the Alley's wikipedia person to take a look at the article and make edits as needed. They are probably best qualified to write this part up. Dave Biskner (talk) 19:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Comments

My understanding is the identification of cities is based upon the most recent census, not the estimates of the census bureau. If that is wrong, I apologize, but I don't know how the identification could be based upon "estimates". subdn

Well, I am clearly missing something here, as the page has been revised yet again to reflect that Troy is more populous than Farmington Hills, when the respective pages clearly show that Farmington Hills, based on an actual census, and not an "estimate" is more populous than Troy. What am I missing? subdn

OK, my mistake. I could have sworn I compared the two pages and saw Troy with the larger population, but they have not been edited recently, so either my browser is playing tricks on me or I was delusional. As of the 2000 Census figure, Farmington Hills was larger. Starting with the 2003 estimate, Troy has been slihtly ahead. Farmington Hills Troy older ≠ wiser 20:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Although, oddly enough, the county population in this article is for the 2005 estimate. older ≠ wiser 20:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess my thought is that the fact that the 2005 estimate is for Oakland County only proves my point. The "estimate"s are inherently less reliable than the actual census, so they don't provide estimates as frequently for smaller subsets (cities) as compared to larger subsets (counties). In any event, I think your resolution was appropriate. :) subdn

Actually, they do provide annual estimates for cities. See the links I provided above. I believe the estimates are regarded as fairly accurate. older ≠ wiser 21:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Lakes

Could the list of lakes be streamlines with multiple columns? 47.137.181.222 (talk) 18:23, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

• I tagged the section to be separated into its own article, titled List of lakes in Oakland County, Michigan. The section in the main county article is way too long and unorganized, and all that information can be moved out to its own article and cleaned up. (Notorious4life (talk) 22:23, 20 July 2019 (UTC))
