Sourcing issues
[edit]This article seems to rely heavily on sources like HometownLocator and USA.com that are third-party aggregates of Census data and should not be considered reliable sources. There are also promotional or fan websites all over, including VacationIdea, MohaveCountyHighways, and TheRoute-66 that need to be replaced with better sources.

- I can have another look at them all, but HometownLocator is linked with USGS (and is mainly used for the different maps, anyway); I equally don't see the problem with USA.com - it makes census data and extrapolated stats more easily accessible, how is that unreliable. In both cases "relying heavily" is inaccurate. Note that VacationIdea is used once, as a third source for a fact that was being put up for DYK (so wanting to show multiple sources for certainty) as there's others, this could have simply been removed if it's an issue.

- We should be linking directly to the original source (aka the Census or ACS), since some of these aggregators (e.g. Citydata, also used in the article) use user-generated/submitted data on the same pages without proper separation. SounderBruce 23:49, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
