Sources and limits

The unit is the commune or town (3,181 in all). A commune is Romania's basic unit of local government: a seat village and usually a few others. Distances start from a central point of the unit; in a big town a neighbourhood can be a few kilometres from that point.
A village gets its commune's numbers. The first mention and the place 100 million years ago refer to the commune's seat village.
“Of Romanians” shares use the 2021 census (the hospital card uses the 2023 population of that project), so they match the project pages.
Each project has its full method. A missing number means the source has no firm value for that place; nothing was filled in.
