Districts tend to be less urbanized, tend to cover more than one population center and a larger amount of rural area, and tend to have a smaller population than cities. While cities and districts are generally considered to be two different types of territorial authority, the area covered by a city is often known as its district—for example the term <i>district plan</i> is used equally in districts and cities.

This can be confusing, as the difference between districts and neighboring cities is usually not readily apparent, for they all make up the <a href="/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles" title="Greater Los Angeles">Greater Los Angeles</a> area. Typically, districts may or may not be distinguished at the boundary of the district with a "district sign" with the city's insignia; whereas at a city boundary, a <a href="/wiki/Town_sign" title="Town sign">city limit sign</a> would usually be placed on the street with the city's name and population, at a minimum, but also often includes its <a href="/wiki/Elevation" title="Elevation">elevation</a>.
