What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own separate local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's governed directly by the county it's in. This means that services like roads, police, and fire protection are usually managed by the county government, not by a local town council. Many small communities across the United States are unincorporated.
