Is there any difference between MCD and incoporated areas ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.161.27.52 (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, while some MCDs may be classified as incorporated under state law, not all are. older≠wiser 14:29, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

American Indian Reservations

There is an error on the page. The page says "New York - cities, towns, American Indian reservations, unorganized territory, unorganized water. " But this US Census page https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/about/glossary.html says "In New York and Maine, American Indian reservations (AIRs) generally exist outside the jurisdiction of any town (MCD)"

Towns, Cities, American Indian Reservations

Also, this page https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/guidance-geographies/terms-and-definitions.html says "MCDs are commonly known as towns (in New England, New York, and Wisconsin)" and "In Maine and New York, American Indian reservations are not part of any other MCD and therefore, the Census Bureau treats them as MCD equivalents." and "061: State-County-Minor Civil Division (MCD) - the Census Bureau produces estimates for MCDs in 20 states. These legally defined county subdivisions are known by various descriptions, including towns (in New England, New York and Wisconsin)" Cities and American Indian reservations -are- included in County Subdivisions, but not in MCDs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socialresearch (talk • contribs) 22:59, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cities and Towns

One more, the page above also says "Incorporated places include cities, towns (except in New England, New York, and Wisconsin where the Census Bureau recognizes towns as MCDs for census purposes)". That is, cities are not MCDs. (Also, sorry, I forgot to sign the other times) Socialresearch (talk) 23:03, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
