Incorporated place

Incorporated place

An incorporated place, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, is a type of governmental unit incorporated under state law as a city, town (except the New England states, New York, and Wisconsin) [Towns in the New England states are incorporated governmental units on the same level as cities, but are not treated as such by the Census Bureau. In Wisconsin, towns are similar to the civil townships of other states. In New York, towns have a status intermediate between those of Wisconsin and New England.] , borough (except in Alaska and New York) [Boroughs in Alaska are analogous to counties in other states. Boroughs in New York are simultaneously counties and administrative divisions of New York City.] , or village and having legally prescribed limits, powers, and functions. The unincorporated counterpart is called a census-designated place.
