Census Places (Arkansas)
The boundaries of Arkansas's cities, villages, boroughs and towns as the Census Bureau draws them each year, together with the named unincorporated communities it calls census-designated places. Use them to outline a municipality on the map, to find which city or village a road, bridge or facility is in, or to summarize anything else by city and village. Each place's current population is in the Bureau's annual population estimates, which join to these outlines.
