Census division

Census division is an official term in Canada and the United States. The census divisions of Canada are second-level census geographic unit, below provinces and territories, and above "census subdivisions" and "dissemination areas". In provinces where they exist, the census division may correspond to a county, a regional municipality or a regional district ^[1]. In the United States, the Census Bureau divides the country into four census regions and nine census divisions^[2]. The bureau also divides counties (or county equivalents) into either census county divisions or minor civil division, depending on the state.
