Regarding statistical gore: US Census does provide attributes to indicate if a certain geography is "real" or "statistical" via the FUNCSTAT code. Only 82 of these across 3.2k features (2.5%).

Connecticut abolished their 8 old counties in the 1960s, but the US Census kept using them for statistical purposes until 2022 when, at the state's request, they were replaced with 9 planning regions. Instead the "towns" (WOF
localadmin
) are actual admin units.We should end-of-life (deprecate) the old
county
features in CT and import 9 newcounty
features, including population values and concordances.Open question: Should the old records and the new records both be marked as statistical gores? Should this be done in other New England states, too? Probably yes for Rhode Island but complicated for the other states...
