According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year geography, PlainCities profiles more than 28,000 U.S. incorporated places, census-designated places, and consolidated city-county governments across all 51 jurisdictions. Demographic, income, education, employment, and housing indicators are sourced directly from Census ACS 2023, FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program data for 7,000+ reporting agencies, NOAA Climate Normals (1991–2020), and the NCES Common Core of Data.

Coverage status: all 50 states + DC with ACS 5-year demographic, income, education, employment, and housing data. Updated on the Census Bureau's annual release cadence (typically December). See our methodology page for full source attribution, refresh cadence, and known data quality limitations.
