Iowa Incorporated and Census Designated Places
This dataset provides census codes for Incorporated and Census Designated Places in Iowa. An incorporated place is a city. A Census Designated Place (CDP) is a "place" that looks and feels like a city or town to the people who live there, but lacks a formal municipal government. Because these areas aren't legally incorporated, they don't have their own city halls, mayors, or local ordinances. Data source is U.S. Census Bureau, ANSI and FIPS Codes, Place Table.
