Actually, the US Census Bureau has those figures as well:

Fairbanks North Star Borough - 97,970 (July 1, 2008, est.)

Well then you can also say that Bethel is Skewed too... because its really the "Bethel Census Region" which includes those towns that I cannot pronouce or spell but will give a shot:
Kipnuk and Oscarville are two examples of towns that are included in the Bethel census.

I believe our census area goes as far as Eek (which I can pronouce and spell :P )

Actually Bethel is not the "Bethel Census Region".

The 2008 figures for the Bethel Census Region list a population of 16,940 people in an area of 40,633 square miles.

The 2008 figures for the City of Bethel list a population of 5,665 people in an area of about 50 square miles.

Thank you for this update, I had the firm impression that they were the same. I stand corrected.
