Cities and towns
 Downtown Indianapolis from the air. Marion County has a consolidated city-county government, in which only four municipalities retain a measure of government autonomy (including a mayor and city council) as "excluded cities" (in addition to Indianapolis, which has its own administration in addition to city-county consolidated government). The remaining municipalities within the county are "included towns" and exercise no authority beyond that of a large neighborhood association. Since many of these included towns were and remain fairly wealthy and influential within the county, this can amount to considerable unofficial clout. Likewise, some neighborhoods that had already been formally incorporated into Indianapolis (such as Broad Ripple) possess similar influence.
