The United States Census Bureau defines certain unincorporated communities (lacking elected municipal officers and boundaries with legal status) [1] as census-designated places (CDPs) for enumeration in each decennial census. The Census Bureau defined 485 Florida CDPs for the 2000 census [2] and 509 CDPs for the 2010 census. [3] As of the 2020 census, there were 41 new CDPs added and 3 CDPs removed/merged into others for a total of 547. [4]
