What is a county subdivision?

The Census Bureau splits every county into county subdivisions. In 29 states and Puerto Rico they are legal areas: towns in New England, New York and Wisconsin, townships in the Midwest, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, barrios in Puerto Rico, magisterial districts in Virginia. Most have a local government; some are kept only for records and elections, and the page says which. Cities and boroughs that fill a subdivision of their own are on their city and town pages.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming have only statistical divisions (census county divisions), which nobody lives in by name, and Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee name their districts by number alone (District 1, District 2), so these states have no pages here. The township finder still names their divisions for any point.
