Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated territory. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Carroll County contains a very small amount of unincorporated territory, one of three counties in New Hampshire to have such areas. The unincorporated territory in Carroll County consists of a tract called Hale's Location, measuring about two and a half square miles, surrounded by Albany, Bartlett and Conway. In only three censuses since 1900 has Hale’s Location reported any population. Except for Hale's Location, Carroll County is entirely incorporated.

There is a second "location" in Carroll County, Hart's Location, which protrudes from the northwestern corner of the county, covering about 18 square miles (47 km²). Hart's Location has incorporated as a town, however, and thus is not currently unincorporated territory, despite its name. Hart's Location appears to have had an on-again/off-again history as an incorporated town, most recently incorporating in the 1980s. On the tables below, Hart's Location is shown as a town during those periods when it is believed to have been an incorporated town, and shown as unorganized territory during those periods when it is believed to have been an unincorporated location. Hart's Location has reported population in every census since 1900, but in two of the three censuses in which Hale's Location has reported population (1960 and 2000), Hale's Location had the larger population of the two.

There are two types of incorporated municipalities in New Hampshire, towns and cities. The tables in the New England Historical U.S. Census Totals series differentiate between towns and cities; however, there have never been any cities in Carroll County. For any census, adding up the totals for each municipality, including the two locations, should yield the county total.
