World map showing boundaries of many high and low-level administrative divisions

The table below indicates the types and, where known, numbers of administrative divisions used by countries and their major dependent territories.

Legend

[edit]
  • The "Type" column indicates a federation (which includes lower-level units that exercise some sovereignty), unitary state (where the highest-level entity is the only sovereign), or regional state (unitary with substantial delegation of power)
  • Terms in italics are terms in languages other than English, in plural form (except languages that take the singular form with numbers, such as Hungarian).
  • Square brackets indicate a term that has not yet been confirmed.

United States Federal 50 states 3,142 counties and county-equivalents[citation needed] (19 boroughs and 11 census areas in Alaska, 64 Louisiana parishes, 41 independent cities).[g] Local government in the United States varies widely by state; some entities cross county and other boundaries. The US Census in 2012 counted 19,522 municipalities, 16,364 townships, 37,203 special districts, and 12,884 independent school districts which have active governments.[88] Many states use township as a governmental level between county and municipality. Most states have counties with unincorporated areas (no municipal government). Municipal governments are called cities, towns, villages, boroughs, and townships, and can form 1-3 layers of government. Many municipalities are administratively divided into boroughs, wards, districts, neighborhoods, or villages, which may or may not have an active government. The US Census defines minor civil divisions and census county divisions for top-level county divisions, many only for statistical purposes.
