Census-designated place

Jump to navigation Jump to search

A census-designated place (CDP) is a place that is identified by the United States Census Bureau as a place dedicated for statistical purposes. They are communities that do not have their own government, but are similar to incorporated places in other ways.[1][2] The outlines that the Bureau chooses for CDPs are usually based on existing lines, but may be different than what is expected by people who live there.
