National rankings

10 indexable rankings · sortable tables and CSV exports

National · Population

Every included Census city/place record sorted smallest to largest, including zero-population rows and the first one-person places.

National · Growth 2020 to 2025

Fastest-growing cities

Top growers by percent change from the April 2020 census base to the July 2025 estimate. Restricted to cities with at least 5,000 residents in 2020 so a hamlet growing from 12 to 200 doesn't top the list on percentage alone.

View ranking →

National · Density

Densest cities

Top cities by residents per square mile of land area, from the 2025 Census Gazetteer. Restricted to cities of at least 5,000 residents.

View ranking →

National · Density

Least crowded cities

The same qualifying density universe sorted from lowest to highest residents per square mile, with a 5,000-resident minimum.

View ranking →

National · Land area

Largest cities by land area

Cities and places ranked by municipal land area from the Census Gazetteer. Water area appears separately and does not affect the rank.

View ranking →

National · Decline 2020 to 2025

Cities losing population

Cities that lost the largest share of residents from the April 2020 census base to mid-2025, within Vintage 2025 only. Same 5,000-resident floor as the growth ranking.

National · ACS income

Median household income

Cities ranked by ACS 2020–2024 median household income estimate, with the published margin of error shown. This is income, not wealth or affordability.

Cities ranked by the average of December, January, and February NOAA temperature normals. Temperature only; no snow or comfort score implied.

View ranking →

National · Precipitation normals

Annual precipitation

Methodology · the 2019/2020 seam

Within-vintage growth only.

The 2010–2019 series (Census Vintage 2019) and the 2020–2025 series (Census Vintage 2025) are two independent estimates of different reference dates, produced by two methodology generations. V2019 extrapolated forward from the 2010 census; V2025 re-based to the 2020 census. The seam between them mixes a methodology shift with real population change.

Every growth and decline number on this site stays inside a single vintage. We publish 2020 base → 2025 estimate as the modern growth metric. We do not publish a single 2010 → 2025 growth number.
