Re: [Talk-us] Representing census-designated places (CDP), Census County Division (CCD), etc

[Elliott Plack]

The approach to CDPs varies. Since the boundaries are only for statistics
and I'd argue that CDP boundaries are not really even boundaries in an
administrative sense. Still, the places often provide some value to the
map, such as place names. I like having them as points, at the CDP
centroid, as opposed to boundaries which tend to get cluttered and are
impossible to keep from moving around.

Do you represent them (and maybe other statistical boundaries) in OSM?
If yes, what are you using? (boundary=?, border_type=?, etc)


We don't keep them as CDPs, except when they are commonly used by people 
outside the census. This is an uncommon situation, and to my knowledge, 
only the case in Alaska, which is unique in its administrative structure.


A lot of CDPs were imported and are approximately the same as city 
boundaries, so these remain and get refined as a more accurate city 
boundary.


Other CDPs are place=* areas, often with unincorporated towns.

[Talk-us] Representing census-designated places (CDP), Census County Division (CCD), etc

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Hi!

We are having a discussion about representing statistical boundaries
in Brazil and while trying to search for similar cases I found that
your CDP (maybe CCD too) seems to be similar:

"They don't have any legal status, or represent the jurisdiction of
any government. CDPs are created by the Census Bureau for statistical
purposes only." - from
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:boundary#United_States

Do you represent them (and maybe other statistical boundaries) in OSM?
If yes, what are you using? (boundary=?, border_type=?, etc)

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson

Kushan has been a valuable contributor to iD over the past several months and 
I’m really looking forward to this project.  
Please join me in congratulating Kushan and welcoming him to the OSM community!
