Congressional Districts by Places


Table Description

This table lists each incorporated place, census designated place, and consolidated city name alphabetically within the state and provides the county name and congressional district that relate to each place. If a place relates to more than one county, each county name is listed. If a place relates to more than one congressional district, each district is listed, separated by a comma or a hyphen (e.g. 6-9 represents congressional districts 6, 7, 8 and 9).

Consolidated cities will appear in the tables as follows:

The consolidated city followed by the parts that make up the consolidated city:

Definition

Incorporated places recognized by the Census Bureau for Census 2000 data are those reported to the U.S. Census Bureau as legally in existence on January 1, 2000, under the laws of their respective states, as cities, boroughs, municipalities, towns, and villages, with the following exceptions: the towns in the New England states, New York, and Wisconsin, and the boroughs in New York are recognized as minor civil divisions for decennial census purposes. Incorporated places can cross both county and MCD boundaries.

Census designated places (CDPs) are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide census data for concentrations of population, housing, and commercial structures that are identifiable by name but are not within an incorporated place. CDP boundaries usually are defined in cooperation with state, local, and tribal officials. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or other legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary.

Consolidated cities are a unit of government for which the functions of an incorporated place and its county or MCD have merged. This may result in both the primary incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to exist as legal entities even though the county or MCD performs few or no governmental functions. Where one or more incorporated places within the consolidated government continue to function as separate governmental units, the primary incorporated place is referred to as a "consolidated city."

The consolidated city "balance" is the consolidated city minus the incorporated places located within the consolidated city. Consolidated cities include: Butte-Silver Bow, MT; Athens-Clark County, GA; Augusta-Richmond County, GA; Columbus, GA; Indianapolis, IN; Milford, CT; and Nashville-Davidson, TN.
