I happened upon this page and wondered if you had considered the discussion at U.S. municipality notes: Census-designated place (CDP) - "Foo is an unincorporated community in Foo County, Foo State, United States. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Foo as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name."

I agree that it nice to call them a community and then list how the Census Bureau describes them for counting purposes. The numerical facts will be from the Census Bureau but any descriptions of the CDP will be about the community of people that live there. No one says I live in CDP such and such. The Census can also drop the CDP designation at anytime but the community does not disappear. They are just incorporated into the county census figures or combined with another community.

For examples, you can see that almost all the CDPs in Ventura County have been converted to be described this way.
