France is mainly divided into 18 administrative regions: 13 regions in metropolitan France (including the territorial collectivity of Corsica), and five located overseas. The regions are further subdivided into 101 departments, which are numbered mainly alphabetically. This number is used in postal codes and was formerly used on vehicle number plates. Among the 101 departments of France, five (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion) are in overseas regions (ROMs) that are also simultaneously overseas departments (DOMs), enjoy exactly the same status as metropolitan departments and are an integral part of the European Union. The 101 departments are subdivided into 335
Subdivisions of Winnipeg West ward. For the purpose of health and community services, the city is subdivided into 12 community areas (sometimes called community characterization areas, CCAs), broken down into 23 neighbourhood clusters (formerly "Neighbourhood Resource Networks"), in turn subdivided into the same 230 neighbourhoods which make up the city wards. Statistics Canada also reports census information subdivided this way for the purposes of city planning. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority also includes two relatively densely populated rural municipalities, outside of Winnipeg, for health planning. They include the R.M. of East St. Paul in River East, and West St. Paul in Seven Oaks.
