Rex is a "Census Designated Place" (CDP) with "55 people, 17 households, and 13 families residing in the CDP" as of the 2000 census.
It's not hard to drive the per capita income into the stratosphere when you have 17 households with high income.
My guess is that this "Census Designated Place" is some gated community for "the rich".
Let's get Edwards to investigate! Obviously this is an address in the other of the Two Americas.
Good idea! LOL....NOW, w/that info, it's understandable. Thanks for digging it up.
If that's the case, I'm sure Old Greensboro Road in Chapel Hill will soon be designated at CDP.
A census-designated place (CDP) is an area identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical reporting. CDPs are communities that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise resemble incorporated places such as cities or villages. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. They are often informally called "unincorporated towns."
The boundaries of such places may be defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials, but are not fixed, and do not affect the status of local government or incorporation. CDP boundaries may change from one census to the next to reflect changes in settlement patterns. Further, as statistical entities, the boundaries of the CDP may not precisely correspond with local understanding of the area with the same name. Recognized communities may be divided into two or more CDPs. A CDP may also cover the unincorporated part of a community where the rest lies within an incorporated city.
By defining an area as a CDP, that locality then appears in the same category of census data as incorporated places. This distinguishes CDPs from other census classifications, such as minor civil divisions (MCDs), which are in a separate category.
However, the CDP has no separate town rights or city councils. The population and demographics of the district are included in the data of county subdivisions containing the CDP. In no case is a CDP defined within the boundaries of an incorporated city, village or borough. However, note that the Census Bureau considers Towns in New England states and New York as well as Townships in some other states as MCDs, even though they are incorporated municipalities in those states.
