There was a thread that touched on this a while back (http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-us@openstreetmap.org/msg03117.html), and I'll repeat what I said then: I don't think you can say "usually" with the Census data. You really need to look at it on a state-by-state basis. While in some states CDPs seem to be pretty arbitrary, in MN they follow municipal boundaries and are updated yearly. There must be other states where this is the case, too--I can't imagine we're that far above average!
