Talk:Attica, Genesee County, New York

This is just part of the Village of Attica which is on the northern border of Wyoming County, New York. Most of the village is in that county, but the village is also in Genesee County, New York. Whoever originally organized the subunits of New York did not realize that Attica is one of the villages in New York that spans county borders. There was too much reliance on CSD information, which appears to be organized on a county level. A CSD is a temporary artifice to define a census tract, but the Village of Attica existed long before the census, and presumably will continue to do so. The two articles relating to one village should be merged, but can this be done without destroying the census data?

I believe that this article represents all of the village of Attica and was merely poorly named in a somewhat misguided attempt at disambiguation. I don't see how CSD played a role in this (perhaps you meant CDP, but even then there is no CDP defined for this place). However, the actual census data is confusing. The SF 4 Summary file says there was total population of 2,639. But the SF 1 Summary file says there was 2,597. I don't know where that discrepency comes from--there does not appear to be any sort of separate summary files for the village of Attica based on county. I think this can safely be merged with the Attica (village), New York. older≠wiser 23:08, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
