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 . The Census Bureau designates criteria of total popula-tion size, population density, and geographic configuration for delineatingCDPs. Not everyone resides in a place; in 1990, approximately 66 millionpeople (26 percent) in the United States lived outside of any place, either insmall settlements, in the open countryside, or in the densely settled fringe of large cities in areas that were built-up, but not identifiable as Places .
sus Bureau recognizes all places as CDPs rather than as incorporated places. Puerto Rico and several of the Outlying Areas under United States jurisdiction (Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau) also have no incorporated places (for details, see Chapter 7, “Puerto Rico and the Outlying Areas”).
