Census States

States are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. The District of Columbia is treated as a statistical equivalent of a state for data presentation purposes. Each state and statistically equivalent entity is assigned a two-digit numeric Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in alphabetical order by state name, followed in alphabetical order by and the Island Areas.

Census Counties

The primary legal divisions of most states are termed "counties." In four states (Maryland, , , and Virginia), there are one or more incorporated places that are independent of any organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their states; these incorporated places are known as "independent cities" and are treated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered equivalent to a county for statistical purposes. Each county is assigned a three-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code that is unique within state or state equivalent.

Census Minor Civil Divisions

County subdivisions are commonly referred to as “” and are the primary divisions of counties. These include minor civil divisions and census county divisions. All are treated the same within the map database. Each county subdivision is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code within each state. MCDs cover the entire US. - Minor civil divisions (MCDs) are the primary governmental or administrative divisions of a county or county equivalent in many states. MCDs represent many different kinds of legal entities with a wide variety of governmental and/or administrative functions. MCDs are variously designated as districts, boroughs, townships, , etc. - Census county divisions are county subdivisions that were delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau, in cooperation with state and local officials for purposes of presenting statistical data where there are no legally established minor civil divisions (MCDs). There are other unique “MCD-type” divisions in different states and Maponics treats them all as “MCDs” for the purposes of this map layer. For a detailed description and definitions of County Subdivisions please reference https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_cousub.html#mcd

Census Places

Maponics Census Places file contains the 2016 listing of Incorporated Places (IPs) and Census Designated Places (CDPs) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Incorporated Places are those reported to the U.S. Census Bureau as legally in existence under the laws of their respective states, as cities, boroughs, towns, and villages, with the following exceptions: the towns in the New England states, , and , and the boroughs in New York are recognized as minor civil divisions (MCDs). In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more IPs known as "independent cities" that are primary divisions of a state and legally not part of any county. Other types of “cities” that may be defined for statistical purposes are not included in this dataset. CDPs are communities that lack separate governments, but otherwise resemble incorporated places, which were created for statistical purposes. For a detailed description and definitions of Census Places please reference: https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_place.html

Because the Census Bureau splits all their data files by county, some original records for Places appear multiple times for the same city. Maponics has joined these records so that there is only one record per city. There may still be cases where a city is composed of multiple polygons, depending on the city’s legal boundary.

Census Core Based Statistical Areas

Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (metro and micro areas) are geographic entities delineated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by Federal statistical agencies in collecting, tabulating, and publishing Federal statistics. The term "Core Based Statistical Area" (CBSA) is a collective term for both metro and micro areas. A metro area contains a core urban area of 50,000 or more population, and a micro area contains an urban core of at least 10,000 (but less than 50,000) population. Each metro or micro area consists of one or more counties and includes the counties containing the core urban area, as well as any adjacent counties that have a high degree of social and economic integration (as measured by commuting to work) with the urban core. For a detailed description and definitions of CBSA please reference https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_cbsa.html
