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

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.
