Census-designated places on the list

Note 1: The only incorporated place in Hawaii is the City & County of Honolulu. A portion of it, the Honolulu District, is sometimes regarded as the "city" for statistical purposes, although it has no government separate from that of the City and County as a whole. The U.S. Census Bureau defines Honolulu CDP to coincide with the Honolulu District. Thus for Hawaii, the largest CDPs are ranked.
Note 2: The 4 municipalities of the Northern Mariana Islands are listed. Each municipality is divided into smaller villages, but the municipalities are considered the primary subdivisions. The five largest villages are Garapan, Dandan, Koblerville, Finasisu and Kagman III, with Capitol Hill being the 19th largest village at 1,028 people.
Note 3: The most populous sub-districts of the U.S. Virgin Islands are listed. The three largest towns are Charlotte Amalie, Christiansted and Frederiksted.
Though Maryland has a number of incorporated places, most major population centers are census-designated places. For a list of incorporated places, see List of incorporated places in Maryland.
