Explore maps and published data on housing, population, economic conditions and reported incidents for counties and county equivalents. Availability, sources and limitations vary by topic and state.
Choose a state for its published topics, county pages, rankings, downloads, and source notes.

Housing
Home values describe owner-occupied housing, not individual sale prices. ACS estimates have sampling uncertainty, and missing or suppressed observations are excluded.
Rank lower median home values — Median home value, census-acs5-2024, ACS 2020-2024 5-year; 3138 available observations in the index. Order: ascending; first 25 shown, no filters.
Population Estimates Program (PEP) estimates and ACS survey estimates are distinct products. Geographic boundaries and reference periods can differ; do not assume a matching GEOID implies comparable boundaries.
Rank population growth — PEP growth percent, census-pep-2025, 2024-07-01 to 2025-07-01; 3144 available observations in the index. Order: descending; first 25 shown, no filters.
Rank median age — PEP median age, census-pep-2025, 2025-07-01; 3144 available observations in the index. Order: descending; first 25 shown, no filters.
Household income is an ACS five-year estimate, not a national median. Differences between adjacent county ranks may not be statistically meaningful; consult margins of error and source notes.
Rank higher median household incomes — Median household income, census-acs5-2024, ACS 2020-2024 5-year; 3142 available observations in the index. Order: descending; first 25 shown, no filters.
Coverage varies by metric and eligibility. The explorer identifies unavailable observations, sources, vintages and geographic compatibility. Reported incidents are not included as safety rankings.
County and county-equivalent pages
Find a county, parish, or independent city
Search by locality or state. Results open a county overview where available, otherwise the existing housing page, and include the state to distinguish matching names. Type to filter, then Tab to a result and press Enter. Without JavaScript, choose a state below; states provide a linked county list.
50 states; 3,143 counties and county equivalents in the validated published housing bundles. Of those localities, 3,142 have available median household income observations and 1 have suppressed observations; other unavailable observations are not counted as suppressed.
These are coverage counts, not a U.S. or statewide median, an average of county medians, or a measure of households. Each state page links its published data and source metadata.

Each outlined state is a link. Alaska and Hawaii appear as labeled insets. The alphabetical list below provides the same navigation without JavaScript.
Measures use the project’s established ACS five-year data and Census TIGER-derived geography. Each state page documents its inputs, validation, calculations, downloadable data, and provenance.
