List of census-designated places in West Virginia facts for kids
The Pocahontas Fuel Company owned the Itmann Company Store and Office (pictured), located in the company town of Itmann. A person named Alex B. Mahood designed the store. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The town and store are named after I. T. Mann, who was the president of Pocahontas Fuel.
When the United States Census Bureau counts people every ten years, they sort places into different groups. These groups help them understand how communities are organized. Some places are "incorporated," which means they have their own local government. Other places are "unincorporated," meaning they don't have their own local government.
To become an "incorporated" place, like a city or town, a community in West Virginia needs to follow certain rules. For example, it might need a certain number of people living there. It also needs to be a specific size. The Census Bureau says incorporated places are areas that provide government services for a group of people.
Unincorporated communities are called census-designated places (CDPs). These places don't have their own elected leaders or official borders. In 2010, West Virginia had 169 CDPs.
West Virginia has rules for how a community can become an official city or town. If a community is larger than 1 square mile (about 2.6 square kilometers), it needs at least 500 people or landowners per square mile. If it's smaller than 1 square mile, it needs at least 100 people or landowners. The area also can't be too big for the number of people living there.
Once a community becomes an official city or town, it's put into a class based on its population.
- A Class I city has more than 50,000 people.
- A Class II city has between 10,000 and 50,000 people.
- A Class III city has between 2,000 and 10,000 people.
- A Class IV town or village has fewer than 2,000 people.
All these official cities and towns can do things like use an official seal, go to court, and buy or rent property for community purposes.
Out of the 55 counties in West Virginia, Logan County has the most CDPs, with 22. Fayette County is next with 18, and Raleigh County has 15. The biggest CDP by population is Teays Valley, with 13,175 residents. The smallest CDP by both population and size is Bowden, with only 9 residents in an area of about 0.12 square miles (0.31 square kilometers).
