City and town populations
Find validated whole incorporated-place records. Compare official July 1, 2025 population estimates, growth and density across cities, towns, villages and boroughs.
Population totals use July 1, 2025 observations from PEP Vintage 2025. Change is measured since July 1, 2024. Records describe whole incorporated places. Balances are labeled; place parts and census-designated places are not combined into this directory. Missing density is displayed as unavailable, never as zero.

Use these comparisons consistently
A larger population does not necessarily mean faster growth. Absolute change measures the number of residents gained or lost; percentage change divides that difference by the starting population. The percentage column here covers one July-to-July interval, rather than a decade or a partial calendar year. Percent growth is suppressed where the starting population is zero.
Density divides the unrounded July 1, 2025 population by matching 2025 Gazetteer land area. It is measured in people per square mile and excludes water area. These geographic averages depend on the size and definition of each unit, so a county’s density is not directly comparable to a built-up city neighborhood.
Whole incorporated places and consolidated-government balances are distinguishable records. This table never adds a county/place part as if it were a separate whole city. City proper differs from a metropolitan area, and a city may span several counties.
Exports contain the current page’s visible rows after filtering, with reference date and release metadata. Use whole-dataset downloads for every row or select a compatible comparison to inspect a longer interval. The initial pep-2025-r1 snapshot remains reproducible when future releases are added.
