A census-designated place ( CDP ) is a concentration of population defined by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes only.
26-474: Timberwood Park is a census-designated place (CDP) in far northern unincorporated Bexar County , Texas , United States and located within the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country . The district has roughly 42 miles of roads and encompasses over 2,000 acres. The overall plan shows 3,263 platted lots.

There were 2,065 housing units at an average density of 108.5 per square mile (41.9/km). The racial makeup of
78-421: A CDP have no legal status and 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
104-461: 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

156-451: Is often difficult, since methodologies, definitions and data quality can vary greatly. Since the 1990s, the OECD has conducted regular surveys among its 38 member countries using a standardized methodology and set of questions. Per capita income is often used to measure a sector's average income and compare the wealth of different populations. Per capita income is also often used to measure
182-462: Is subject to descending northern cold fronts and arctic fronts in the winter with cool to cold nights, typically seeing night lows at or near freezing and is cool to warm and rainy in the spring and fall. The area can also be subject to fairly regular ice and snow storms, with the most recent snowstorm dumping between 9-10 inches of snow between February 14 and 18 in 2021 "2021 Texas Snowfall totals" (PDF) .

208-654: The 1890 Census , in which 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
234-461: 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 , whose political geography is based on the New England town , and is distinctly different from other areas of the U.S.), but with
260-526: The Mexico–United States border , and unincorporated resort and retirement communities and their environs. The boundaries of any CDP may change from decade to decade, and the Census Bureau may de-establish a CDP after a period of study, then re-establish it some decades later. Most unincorporated areas within the United States are not and have not been included in any CDP. The boundaries of

#1732790362861312-642: The CDP was $ 34,385. About 1.8% of families and 3.4% of the population were below the poverty line , including 5.5% of those under age 18 and 5.6% of those age 65 or over. Timberwood Park is served by the Comal Independent School District , and North East Independent School District . The CISD portion is assigned to: The NEISD portion is assigned to: Previously areas in Timberwood Park in NEISD had Oak Meadow Elementary as
338-625: The CDP was 90.25% White , 1.10% African American , 0.46% Native American , 1.09% Asian , 4.33% from other races , and 2.77% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 20.26% of the population. The area submitted a petition signed by more than 4,100 residents to the City of San Antonio seeking immediate annexation - a ploy to get permission from the Texas Legislature to incorporate under Texas Statutory law. There were 2,002 households, out of which 44.7% had children under
364-452: The Census Bureau considers some towns in New England states, New Jersey and New York as well as townships in some other states as MCDs, even though they are incorporated municipalities in those states. In such states, CDPs may be defined within such towns or spanning the boundaries of multiple towns. There are a number of reasons for the CDP designation: Per capita income Per capita income ( PCI ) or average income measures
390-418: The age of 18 living with them, 78.2% were married couples living together, 5.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 14.0% were non-families. 11.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 2.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.94 and the average family size was 3.18. In the CDP, the population was spread out, with 29.4% under
416-459: The age of 18, 5.4% from 18 to 24, 31.5% from 25 to 44, 27.5% from 45 to 64, and 6.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 96.7 males. The median income for a household in the CDP was $ 79,053, and the median income for a family was $ 83,203. Males had a median income of $ 52,196 versus $ 36,761 for females. The per capita income for
442-500: The average income earned per person in a given area (city, region, country, etc.) in a specified year. In many countries, per capita income is determined using regular population surveys, such as the American Community Survey . This allows the calculation of per capita income for both the country as a whole and specific regions or demographic groups. However, comparing per capita income across different countries
468-484: The boundaries for CDPs. The PSAP was to be offered to county and municipal planning agencies during 2008. The boundaries of such places may be defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials, but are not fixed, and do not affect the status of local government or incorporation; the territories thus defined are strictly statistical entities. CDP boundaries may change from one census to the next to reflect changes in settlement patterns. Further, as statistical entities,
494-419: 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. A CDP may also cover the unincorporated part of a named community, where the rest lies within an incorporated place. By defining an area as a CDP, that locality then appears in
520-788: The geographic extent associated with inhabitants' regular use of the named place. There is no provision, however, that this name recognition be unanimous for all residents, or that all residents use the community for which the CDP is named for services provided therein. There is no mandatory correlation between CDP names or boundaries and those established for other human purposes, such as post office names or zones, political precincts, or school districts. The 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 included Arlington County, Virginia 's CDP in
546-556: The list with the incorporated places, but since 2010, only the Urban Honolulu CDP, Hawaii, representing the historic core of Honolulu, Hawaii , is shown in the city and town estimates. The Census Bureau reported data for some unincorporated places as early as the first census in 1790 (for example, Louisville, Kentucky , which was not legally incorporated in Kentucky until 1828), though usage continued to develop through

Timberwood Park observes an average of 18 subfreezing nights each year. The area also sees an average of 27 100 °F+ days each summer, but some years feature none (2021) or may suffer through dozens such days as was the case in 2022 (49) and 2023 (72).

Census-designated place CDPs have been used in each decennial census since 1980 as the counterparts of incorporated places , such as self-governing cities , towns , and villages , for
624-412: The purposes of gathering and correlating statistical data. CDPs are populated areas that generally include one officially designated but currently unincorporated community, for which the CDP is named, plus surrounding inhabited countryside of varying dimensions and, occasionally, other, smaller unincorporated communities as well. CDPs include small rural communities, edge cities , colonias located along
650-457: The same category of census data as incorporated places. This distinguishes CDPs from other census classifications, such as minor civil divisions (MCDs), which are in a separate category. The population and demographics of the CDP are included in the data of county subdivisions containing the CDP. Generally, a CDP shall not be defined within the boundaries of what the Census Bureau regards to be an incorporated city, village or borough. However,

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 .
