For the U.S. Census Bureau, CCD means Census County Division.
What is CCD?
CCD is a subdivision of a county that the Census Bureau uses for reporting census data.
How is a CCD Established?
The Census Bureau works with state, local and tribal officials to establish CCDs. CCD boundaries usually follow visible features and, where applicable, coincide with census tracts.
Why are CCDs Established?
CCDs are set up where there are no minor civil divisions that can be used for reporting census data. A minor civil division is the primary governmental unit for administrative purposes in many states.
How are CCDs Named?
The name of each CCD is based on a place, county or well-known local name that identifies its location.
Where Have CCDs Been Established?
CCDs have been established in 21 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
