Odell Township is a township located in Coos County, New Hampshire. As of the 2000 census, the township had a total population of 5. However, Suzan Collins, the Coos County administrator, disputes this fact. In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part on any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited). Villages are census divisions of towns or cities, but have no separate corporate existence from the municipality they are located in.
According to the United States Census Bureau, it is one of only 8 places in the United States with a population of five people. The others are Storrie, California, Bear Head Lake, Minnesota, Baker, Missouri, Gross, Nebraska, Maza, North Dakota, Somerset, Vermont, and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
