DateWhat changed
2026-10-09New edition: every figure reloaded from the 2020-2024 ACS (from 2019-2023), with margins of error, change since 2015-2019, the 2020 Census count and the 2025 population estimate; counties and their tract lists added; the towns and townships of the 20 states where they are local governments added; Puerto Rico's 2025 population estimates loaded for the commonwealth and its municipios; every census tract published; rankings rebuilt from reliable estimates only; a census tract lookup by address; a new design. A place or tract with too few reliable figures for a page of its own is now a row of its county's page, and its former address leads there. Crime, climate, school and hazard figures copied from other databases were removed (see corrections).
2026-08-08Population estimates for 2020-2025 (Vintage 2025) added for incorporated places.
2026-03-22PlainCities launched with ACS 2019-2023 figures for U.S. places.
