Census Places (District of Columbia)
The boundaries of the District of Columbia'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.
