I would like a list of County names for the largest 100 counties in
the U.S.  Largest means most population, not land area.

Hi county,

I can provide you with a list of the 100 largest counties based on
Census 2000 population. Alternatively I can provide a list of
population estimates for the 100 largest U.S. counties based on July
1, 2004 population estimates.

Please let me know if this would interest you.

Best regards,
Rainbow

According to the US Census Bureau: "The Census Bureau publishes July 1
estimates for years after the last decennial census (2000)..."

In other words, the list I can provide as mentioned in my
clarification, will be the most up-to-date list so far available.

Best regards,
Rainbow
