Chapter 9 Places
The Bureau of the Census defines a place as a concentration of population; a place may or may not have legally prescribed limits, powers, or concentration of population must have a name, be locally recognized, and not be part of any other place. A place either is legally incorporated under the laws of its respective State, or a statistical equivalent that the Census Bureau treats as a census desig-nated place (CDP). Each State enacts laws and regulations for establishingincorporated Places .
