 * City: Any settlement listed at that had a 1991 or 2001 census population of 75,000 or more. These are believed to be cities by Charter or by Act of the Jamaican parliament but no source for this has been found.
 * Town: As given at plus any other settlements with a 1991 census population of between 750 and 75,000.
 * Village Any settlement not listed at and with a 1991 census population of less than 750.

Parish
I'm trying to understand local government in Jamaica. Is there any level of government under the parish level? I ask, because it seems as if parishes are rather large divisions, more along the line of a county here in the United States, but I've yet to find any kind of proof that there is any level of government under a parish. I think this whole things needs to be clarified. From what I'm understanding, cities, town and villages only seem to be statistical settlements. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:06, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
