The CDP functions as a statistical area for Census Bureau purposes. The definition is:
"A statistical entity comprising a dense concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively with state and local and tribal government officials based on Census Bureau guidelines." ( http://cww.census.gov/glossary/) So however CDPs are dealt with, -i.e. retained or deleted, they should definitely not be treated as the equivalent of administrative boundaries.
