Two former CDPs are gone from the 2020 list because their territory was annexed into
\nneighbouring cities: Orange Grove became part of Gulfport in 2007, and Woolmarket was annexed
\ninto Biloxi in 2000. Both names are still used locally for those neighbourhoods, and North
\nGulfport is a long-standing unincorporated community inside Gulfport’s urbanised area, but
\nnone of the three is a separate Census place today.<\/p>\n
