Most Populated Islands in the USA

This quiz only counts the Islands that are in the 50 states so Puerto Rico would not Count This is as of 2010 If the Island's name ends with "island" it will not require is (an example would be;South island-South)

The website you cite as a source doesn't have all the information your quiz lists.

Also, you have Absecon Island listed twice.

And shouldn't Galveston Island be on this list?

Another island that should probably be on here is Key West

Key West Island is less than 5m²(it's 4.2m²) so Wikipedia didn't show it, So you're not wrong it should be it's just that its too small.

Quite a few Florida islands would be - Miami Beach's main island, Long Key, Treasure Island, Coquina Key, Sand Key, the Redington Beaches/Madeira Beach conglomeration. Technically, almost all of Pinellas County (pop. around a million) is on two separate islands due to the Cross Bayou Canal and the Lake Tarpon/Anclote River combo..

I agree with not including areas that are only "islands" because of a manmade canal. However, there is no good reason for Key West and other small but populous islands to not be included. It's been nearly a year since this thread, and that problem is still not fixed.

Having lived on Aquidneck I don't recall ever having referred to it as Rhode Island?

No James Island, SC? The town alone has 11,000 people and it's not the only community on the island.

Quiz appears to be missing Roosevelt Island (NYC) and San Juan Island (Washington). I hear you about the "too-small" islands, but perhaps that means you should find a different source, or specify the minimum size in the description.

Also, the type-in for Camano Island doesn't accept "Camano".

Key west should be on here. It has a population of 26,527. And your comment saying it’s land area is 4.2m2 isn’t correct, it’s area is 18.67KM2

You should not be using the largest islands by Area as your source for a population quiz. There are many missing islands with much higher populations

Typing "Camano" and "Grosse" does not register, and they should. I should not have to type "Camano I" and "Grosse Ile" in order to get credit.
