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

CDP boundaries may change from one census to the next to reflect changes in settlement patterns. Further, as statistical entities,
