Re: [Talk-us] Removing a CDP
I agree with Rich Welty- if you know the area and the CDP boundary makes no sense, then remove it. The issue in the past has been where some people wanted to remove all of them. - Serge On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 8:35 PM, Clifford Snow cliff...@snowandsnow.us wrote: I would like to remove Machias, Washington admin_level 8 since it does not exist as a city in Washington.

That is in fact on the list, and it's actually the changeset that I reverted. On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 3:20 PM Shawn K.

If you haven't gotten your ticket yet for State of the Map US do so soon: ticket sales close on June 1! You can register over on the conference web site http://stateofthemap.us/ The ticket sales close five days before conference start because we need to get a UN security pass for all attendees.

Re: [Talk-us] Removing a CDP
Brad, Thank you for reminding us of what the Census office says that CDPs are. I would just add that CDPs are used in some places as de-facto cities or towns, which is why we've rejected proposals to remove them all. - Serge ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Removing a CDP
Just to reinforce what has already been said, here's what the Census thinks of CDPs: Census Designated Places (CDPs) are the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, and are* delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated* under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries usually are defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials and generally updated prior to each decennial census. *These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another 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. CDPs must be contained within a single state and may not extend into an incorporated place. There are no population size requirements for CDPs. https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/gtc/gtc_place.html Actual local administrative entities tend to be Places and sometimes County Subdivisions, but it really varies by state. If you want to dig that deep, you can view info about each state's census geography here: https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/geoguide.html Brad On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 9:13 AM, Serge Wroclawski emac...@gmail.com wrote: I agree with Rich Welty- if you know the area and the CDP boundary makes no sense, then remove it.
