What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood or a small village that isn't officially a city. That's an unincorporated community! It means the people living there don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the bigger government of the area, like a county or a parish, takes care of things like roads, police, and other services. This is common in many parts of the United States.
