6/3 boggled:

I wonder what percentage of developed land is incorporated city area? These numbers are not metro areas.
You are all right about Alamogordo. I checked the on-line version and the numbers/names are the same.
Going through this site:
Alamogordo (city) QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau
The numbers look accurate for all the towns (not cities, really).
Alamogordo was simply left off. That's goofy.
It shows a measure of 35,551 for 2003.
