Map Gallery

This site presents an archive of maps derived from the 2022 U.S. Census of Governments, which I have created to visualize the distribution of local government units across the United States. Currently, these maps are organized by county and by core-based statistical areas. Additional aggregations may be added in the future.

Map types

  • All local governments
  • All general-purpose local governments (municipalities and towns/townships)
  • Municipalities
  • Towns/townships
  • School districts (combined independent and dependent)
  • Special districts
  • Special districts per municipality
  • Hirschmann-Herfindahl Index (1−∑n=15sharetype2)
