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.

181 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.

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.
