What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a settlement that is not part of an official municipality. It does not have its own mayor or city council. Instead, it is usually governed by the county it is located in. For Range, this means Polk County manages its services.
How Unincorporated Communities Work
People living in unincorporated areas still receive important services. These services include things like roads, police, and fire protection. The county government provides these services. This is different from a city, which has its own local departments.
Where is Range Located?

Getting Around Range
The community is easy to reach by road. It is located along a major route called U.S. Highway 8. Another important road, County Road D (also known as 60th Street), also passes through Range. These roads help connect Range to other nearby places.
