A census-designated place (CDP)〔〔〔 is a concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, such as cities, towns, and villages. CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places. CDPs are delineated solely to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. They include small rural communities, colonias located along the U.S. border with Mexico, and unincorporated resort and retirement communities.〔 The boundaries of a CDP have no legal status. Thus, they may not always correspond with the local understanding of the area or community with the same name. However, criteria established for the 2010 Census require that a CDP name "be one that is recognized and used in daily communication by the residents of the community" (not "a name developed solely for planning or other purposes") and recommend that a CDP's boundaries be mapped based on the geographic extent associated with residents' use of the place name.〔 The U.S. Census Bureau states that census-designated places are not considered incorporated places and that it includes only census-designated places in its city population list for Hawaii because that state has no incorporated cities. In addition, census city lists from 2007 include Arlington County, Virginia's CDP in the list with the incorporated places. ==History== The Census Bureau reported data for some unincorporated places as early as the 1850 Census, though usage continued to develop through the 1890 Census, in which, for the first time, the Census mixed unincorporated places with incorporated places in its products with "town" or "village" as its label.〔 This made it confusing to determine which of the "towns" were or were not incorporated. The 1900 through 1930 Censuses did not report data for unincorporated places.〔 For the 1940 Census, the Census Bureau compiled a separate report of unofficial, unincorporated communities of 500 or more people.〔 The Census Bureau officially defined this category as "unincorporated places" in the 1950 Census and used that term through the 1970 Census.〔 For the 1950 Census, these types of places were identified only outside "urbanized areas".〔 In 1960, the Census Bureau also identified unincorporated places inside urbanized areas (except in New England), but with a population of at least 10,000.〔 For the 1970 Census, the population threshold for "unincorporated places" in urbanized areas was reduced to 5,000.〔 For the 1980 Census, the designation was changed to "census designated places"〔 and the designation was made available for places inside urbanized areas in New England.〔 For the 1990 Census, the population threshold for CDPs in urbanized areas was reduced to 2,500.〔 From 1950 through 1990, the Census Bureau specified other population requirements for unincorporated places or CDPs in Alaska, Puerto Rico, island areas, and Native American reservations. Minimum population criteria for CDPs were dropped with the 2000 Census.〔U.S. Bureau of the Census, (Census Designated Place (CDP) Program for the 2010 Census — Proposed Criteria ), 72 ''Federal Register'' 17326-17329, April 6, 2007.〕〔 The Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) allows designated participants to review and suggest modifications to the boundaries for CDPs. The PSAP was to be offered to county and municipal planning agencies during 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Census-designated place」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
