List of census-designated places in Pennsylvania facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Hey there! Ever wondered about all the different kinds of places in a state? Well, in Pennsylvania, besides cities and towns, there are special areas called census-designated places (CDPs). These aren't official cities or towns with their own local government, but they are places where lots of people live together. The U.S. Census Bureau defines them so they can collect information about the population, like how many people live there and what their homes are like. This helps the government understand communities better and plan for things like schools and roads.

This list shows all the census-designated places in Pennsylvania, based on the information from the 2010 Census. It's like a snapshot of how these communities looked at that time!

Former Census-designated places (Before 2010)

Sometimes, the Census Bureau changes how it defines places. This can happen if communities grow, merge, or if their boundaries are redrawn. The places listed below used to be CDPs before the 2010 Census, but they are no longer on the official list. Some might have been renamed or split into smaller CDPs.
