103 Total Unduplicated Population of the Legal Service Area

This is the total unduplicated population of those areas in your state that receive library services.

The population of unserved areas is not included in this figure.

Note: A state’s actual total population of legal service areas may be different from the total population of legal service areas as calculated by WebPLUS. This happens in states where there are overlaps in population of legal service areas served by individual libraries, resulting in the same population being counted twice in the WebPLUS calculation. For states that have no overlapping jurisdictions, this number will be identical to your state’s total population of legal service areas as calculated by WebPLUS. For states that do have overlaps in population of legal service areas served by individual libraries, this number must be calculated separately.

Use your state’s most recent official state population figures for jurisdictions in your state as the basis for calculating the total unduplicated population of legal service areas.
