and the name that you would use to search for an address these communities.
Maybe, maybe not. Often the USPS uses a nearby incorporated place, and
the CDP name would not be valid. Sometimes the actual incorporated
community that has jurisdiction over a place is not accepted by the
USPS.
USPS delivery routes often only vaguely follow incorporation boundaries.
the effect is particularly evident here in upstate NY, where i live in the
town of Sand Lake, but receive my postal mail from the Averill Park
Post Office (Averill Park is an unincorporated, named hamlet about 3
miles away) and so have an Averill Park postal address. that's just one
example, it's like that all over the state.
