What is a Census-Designated Place?

A census-designated place (CDP) is a special type of community. It's an area that looks like a town or city, but it isn't officially set up as one. CDPs are created by the United States Census Bureau just for counting people. This helps them gather information about populations in areas that are not formal cities.

Weogufka was first counted in the 1920 U.S. Census. At that time, it was listed as an official community. However, it did not appear on the census again for many years. It was finally listed again in 2010, when it became a census-designated place.
