North Carolina utilizes Incorporated Cities and Towns for primary names on segments.
- There are 553 Incorporated Cities and Towns in North Carolina, which are the only city names that should be listed as primary.
- Segments outside of any incorporated city/town limits should have the "None" checkbox on the City field checked.
- NOTE: North Carolina does not use Census Designated Places (CDPs) for city names.
USPS city names should be added as an alternate name on:
- All segments that do not have a primary city (i.e. "None" is checked).
- Any segment whose mailing city differs from the primary incorporated city.
