POPULATED PLACES (PPL) – POINT
PPL 1–1,000
Subtype of Populated Places (PPL) – Point
- FType: Not applicable
- FCode: Not applicable
- Feature Description: Place labels include populated place, civil, and census features. A populated place is a place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village). A populated place is usually not incorporated and by definition has no legal boundaries. However, a populated place may have a corresponding “civil” record, the legal boundaries of which may or may not coincide with the perceived populated place. A civil feature is political division formed for administrative purposes (borough, county, incorporated place, municipio, parish, town, township). A census feature is a statistical area delineated locally specifically for the tabulation of Census Bureau data (census-designated place, census county division, unorganized territory, various types of American Indian/Alaska Native statistical areas).
