SOURCES & GEOGRAPHY
Understand the boundaries.
Population is the Census Bureau July 1, 2025 estimate (Vintage 2025), downloaded November 8, 2026. Population position is a geographic selection order, not a broker rating.
Groups use the July 2023 OMB metropolitan and micropolitan delineations published by Census. Counties outside either are grouped by state. For places crossing boundaries, the area containing the greatest estimated resident population is the primary group; other populated areas are identified. Equal populations are ordered by state, name and geographic identifiers.
