Centrus MCD Boundary
Data

 |
Centrus Minor Civil Division Boundary data is based on the Dynamap/MCD Boundary
data from Tele Atlas North America. It is designed to identify the boundaries
of 36,218 Minor Civil Divisions in the United States and Puerto Rico using
Centrus Spatial+ solutions.
Minor Civil Divisions (MCDs) are the primary governmental or administrative
divisions of a county in many states. MCDs represent many different kinds of
legal entities with a wide variety of governmental and/or administrative
functions. MCDs are variously designated as American Indian reservations,
assessment districts, boroughs, election districts, grants, locations,
magisterial districts, parish governing authority districts, plantations,
precincts, purchases, road districts, supervisors’ districts, towns, and
townships. The U.S. Census Bureau recognizes MCDs in 28 states and Puerto Rico.
The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the District of Columbia
is considered equivalent to an MCD for statistical purposes.
In some states, all or some incorporated places are not part of any MCD. These
places also serve as primary legal subdivisions and have a unique FIPS MCD code
that is the same as the FIPS place code. In other states, incorporated places
are part of the MCD in which they are located, or the pattern is mixed—some
incorporated places are independent of MCDs and others are included within one
or more MCDs.
