The population encompassed by the 'Town' of Babylon is quite large, and as of the 2020 census it is now the eighth largest city or town in New York. Babylon encompasses 3 villages (some of which issue death records) and 12 hamlets (properly denoted as 'census-designated places' as they do not have their own governance nor do they issue death records). A person who is listed in the state death index under 'Babylon' would have more frequently associated themselves with their respective hamlet, not the Town of Babylon itself, but the hamlets are generally not recorded within the State Death Index.
