In the United States,a county or county equivalent is an administrative or political subdivision of a state which consists of a geographic region with specific boundaries and usually some level of governmental authority. The term "county" is used in 48 states,while Louisiana and Alaska have functionally equivalent subdivisions called parishes and boroughs,respectively. The specific governmental powers of counties vary widely between the states,with many providing some level of services to civil townships,municipalities,and unincorporated areas. Certain municipalities are in multiple counties;New York City is uniquely partitioned into five counties,referred to at the city government level as boroughs.

Conversely,those counties in Connecticut,Rhode Island,eight of Massachusetts's 14 counties,and Alaska's Unorganized Borough have no government power,existing only as geographic distinctions.
