What is a Census-Designated Place?
A census-designated place (often shortened to CDP) is a special kind of area. It's a place that looks like a town or a village, but it doesn't have its own official local government. The U.S. Census Bureau defines these areas just for counting people and gathering information. This helps them understand how many people live in different parts of the country, even in smaller, unincorporated communities like Vowinckel.
