A census-designated place (CDP) is a concentration of population defined by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes only. CDPs have been used in each decennial census since 1980 as the counterparts of incorporated places, such as self-governing cities, towns, and villages, for the purposes of gathering and correlating statistical data. CDPs are populated areas that generally include one officially designated but currently unincorporated small community, for which the CDP is named, plus surrounding inhabited countryside of varying dimensions and, occasionally, other, smaller unincorporated communities as well. CDPs include small rural communities, colonias located along the U.S. border with Mexico, and unincorporated resort and retirement communities and their environs.

The 2010 United States Census is the twenty-third and most recent United States national census. National Census Day, the reference day used for the census, was April 1, 2010. The census was taken via mail-in citizen self-reporting, with enumerators serving to spot-check randomly selected neighborhoods and communities. As part of a drive to increase the count's accuracy, 635,000 temporary enumerators were hired. The population of the United States was counted as 308,745,538, a 9.7% increase from the 2000 Census. This was the first census in which all states recorded a population of over half a million, as well as the first in which all 100 largest cities recorded populations of over 200,000.

Population density A measurement of population numbers per unit area or volume

Population density is a measurement of population per unit area or unit volume; it is a quantity of type number density. It is frequently applied to living organisms, and most of the time to humans. It is a key geographical term. In simple terms population density refers to the number of people living in an area per kilometer square.

The Census reported that 28 people (100% of the population) lived in households. There were 15 households, out of which 1 (6.7%) had children under the age of 18 living in them, 9 (60.0%) were opposite-sex married couples living together, and 1 (6.7%) had a female householder with no husband present. There were no unmarried opposite-sex partnerships, and no same-sex married couples or partnerships. 5 households (33.3%) were made up of individuals and 3 (20.0%) had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 1.87. There were 10 families (66.7% of all households); the average family size was 2.30.

Marriage Social union or legal contract between people called spouses that creates kinship

Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally recognised union between people, called spouses, that establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. The definition of marriage varies around the world not only between cultures and between religions, but also throughout the history of any given culture and religion, evolving to both expand and constrict in who and what is encompassed, but typically it is principally an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged or sanctioned. In some cultures, marriage is recommended or considered to be compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity. When defined broadly, marriage is considered a cultural universal. Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses."

POSSLQ is an abbreviation for "person of opposite sex sharing living quarters", a term coined in the late 1970s by the United States Census Bureau as part of an effort to more accurately gauge the prevalence of cohabitation in American households.

The population was spread out with 3 people (10.7%) under the age of 18, 0 people (0%) aged 18 to 24, 0 people (0%) aged 25 to 44, 13 people (46.4%) aged 45 to 64, and 12 people (42.9%) who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 61.0 years. For every 100 females, there were 115.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 108.3 males.

There were 103 housing units at an average density of 17.7 per square mile (6.8/km²), of which 12 (80.0%) were owner-occupied, and 3 (20.0%) were occupied by renters. The homeowner vacancy rate was 7.7%; the rental vacancy rate was 0%. 20 people (71.4% of the population) lived in owner-occupied housing units and 8 people (28.6%) lived in rental housing units.
