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,

425-419: The boundaries of the CDP may not correspond with local understanding of the area with the same name. Recognized communities may be divided into two or more CDPs while on the other hand, two or more communities may be combined into one CDP.
