Census Designated Place

Census Designated Places (CDPs) from the Michigan Geographic Framework (MGF) base map. These are the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, and are delineated 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. The boundaries usually are defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials and generally updated prior to each decennial census. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. CDPs must be contained within a single state and may not extend into an incorporated place. There are no population size requirements for CDPs.密歇根地理框架（Michigan Geographic Framework, MGF）底图中的普查指定地区（Census Designated Places, CDPs）。此类区域为建制地区的统计对应单元，其划定旨在为可通过名称识别、但未依照所在州法律完成合法建制的定居人口聚居区提供统计数据。其边界通常由地方或部落官员协同划定，并一般在每十年一次的人口普查前完成更新。此类边界通常与可见地物、邻近建制地区的边界或其他法律实体的边界重合，不具备法律效力；此类区域也未设立负责传统市政职能的当选官员。CDP的边界可能随定居格局的变化在不同十年一次的普查周期间发生调整；名称与早前普查一致的CDP，其边界未必与此前一致。CDP必须隶属于单一州界，不得延伸至建制地区范围内。普查指定地区并无人口规模方面的要求。
