Note 1: The only incorporated place in Hawaii is the City & County of Honolulu . Some of it, the Honolulu District , is sometimes called the "city of Honolulu" for counting reasons, although it has no government separate from that of the "City and County" as a whole. The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Honolulu Urban CDP (Census Designated Place ) as the Honolulu District. For Hawaii, the largest CDPs are listed.
Note 2: The most populous villages or settlements of the Northern Mariana Islands are listed. All are on the island of Saipan .[ 3]
Note 3: The most populous sub-districts (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) of the U.S. Virgin Islands are listed. The island the sub-district occupies is listed shown, too.[ 4]
