Find cities, towns and communities

Find a hometown by name, or browse its state. Cities, reviewed municipal towns and unincorporated Census-designated places appear with their own geography types. Other local governments have a separate browse section.

Find your city, town or community

Search official Census names across the 50 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico. Each result identifies the type of area.

Browse the state directories, or use interactive name search when it is available.

Browse the 50 states and DC

Directories start in alphabetical order. Choose a population comparison to sort estimates from the same source and period.

Puerto Rico

Browse Puerto Rico. Municipios, comunidades and zonas urbanas retain their native geography types. Barrios and other Census areas are available through the search option. Puerto Rico has its own comparison scope and is excluded from national ranks.

Compare populations

These three views cover the 50 states and DC. Each uses its own inclusion policy and one population source. A view with no eligible records has no comparison link.

Towns, villages and other jurisdictions can overlap. Do not add their populations together. ACS estimates include sampling uncertainty; nearby ranks may not represent a meaningful difference.

The established city population ranking keeps its separate 19,483-record scope. See the community coverage policy and comparison definitions.
