Unincorporated communities inside a town or township are ranked only against each other, because the town’s figures include them.

How this ranking is built

A place is included when its own page for this figure is published as reliable: a coefficient of variation of 30% or less and enough surveyed homes.

285 places qualify; the rest are on their own pages with their margins, but not ranked here.

The ranking orders the estimates alone: where two places’ margins of error overlap, their ranks may not truly differ, and places at the same published figure share a rank.

A median published as a bound (“$3,500 or more”) is placed at the bound; its true place may be higher.

Survey years: 2020–2024 (American Community Survey 5-year estimates).

Margins of error are at the 90% confidence level.

This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau.

Figures are published by the US Census Bureau, HUD, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI; Seayora reproduces them and does not adjust them, except where a sentence says it compares dollar figures after inflation. They describe the whole place, not any one building or street, and are not an appraisal, a rent determination, a tax bill, a safety rating or legal advice.
