Two entries need context. Rio Rancho’s 104,046 residents are almost entirely in Sandoval
\nCounty; only a narrow strip of the city’s south side reaches into Bernalillo, and the same split
\napplies to Edgewood, whose 6,174 residents are mostly counted in Santa Fe and Torrance counties,
\nwith only its western edge inside Bernalillo. Isleta Village Proper is the Census Bureau’s small
\nnamed CDP inside the much larger Pueblo of Isleta reservation, most of which extends south into
\nValencia County. The old version of this page also listed Barelas, Atrisco, Los Duranes, Los
\nGriegos, Martinez Town, Old Town and Taylor Ranch as separate places; all seven are historic
\nAlbuquerque neighborhoods inside the city limits, not distinct Census Bureau places, and are
\ndropped from the list above.<\/p>\n
