Houses over $1,000,000

How many owner-occupied homes their owners value at $1,000,000 or more, and their share of all owner-occupied homes. Values are what owners told the Census survey their home would sell for, not appraisals or sale prices. Rented homes and vacant homes are not included. Neighbourhood figures are survey estimates; faded areas have a wide margin of error.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year, table B25075 (value of owner-occupied homes)
Why we trust it: Matches the Census Bureau’s own published share of homes worth $1,000,000 or more (table DP04) to within 0.1 point in every county and in all 24,176 neighbourhoods checked in CA, NY, TX, WA and MA.

Public schools

Every public school in the 2024-25 federal school list (about 102,000), with its school district's budget. Budgets are published per district, not per school, so each school shows its district's totals and its average spending per student. U.S. public schools spent $842 billion on day-to-day costs in 2024 (Census). About 1 in 10 schools (mostly charter and state-run schools that are not part of a district in the Census survey) show no budget. Dense areas are thinned when zoomed out; zoom in to see every school.

Source: National Center for Education Statistics, EDGE public school locations 2024-25; budgets: U.S. Census Bureau, Annual Survey of School System Finances, fiscal year 2024
Why we trust it: 84–89% of schools in Texas, Ohio and Colorado have a matching school in OpenStreetMap. Budgets: district figures add up to 98.8% of the Census Bureau's published U.S. total for day-to-day school spending ($832 billion of $842 billion; the rest is state-run schools); New York City works out to $40,912 per student.

Safety grade

Each county graded from Least safe to Safest. The grade combines violent crime (60%) and property crime (40%) reported to police in 2025, per resident, compared with the whole country: Each area gets a safety score from 0 (least safe) to 100 (safest): a score of 70 means less reported crime than where 70% of Americans live. Least safe is 0-20, Less safe 21-40, Average 41-60, Safer 61-80, Safest 81-100. It is based on reported crime only (about 4 in 10 violent crimes are never reported), and downtown, shopping and stadium areas grade worse because visitors aren't counted as residents. Race and other population traits are not used. Counties with too little police reporting are not graded.

Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, 2025 (offences by agency and NIBRS incident files for domestic violence); U.S. Census Bureau population
Why we trust it: Uses the same FBI 2025 figures as “Crime odds by county”, which match the FBI's and California DOJ's published tables.

Safety grade by neighborhood

Each neighbourhood (census tract) graded from Least safe to Safest on the same national scale as counties and police departments, so a Safer neighbourhood in one city means the same as in another. The grade combines violent crime (60%) and property crime (40%) reported to police in 2025, per resident, compared with the whole country: Each area gets a safety score from 0 (least safe) to 100 (safest): a score of 70 means less reported crime than where 70% of Americans live. Least safe is 0-20, Less safe 21-40, Average 41-60, Safer 61-80, Safest 81-100. It is based on reported crime only (about 4 in 10 violent crimes are never reported), and downtown, shopping and stadium areas grade worse because visitors aren't counted as residents. Race and other population traits are not used. Cities whose crime records don't line up with the FBI's (including Chicago, Boston, Seattle and Washington DC) neighbourhoods with under 1,000 residents, and neighbourhoods containing a prison or jail are not graded.

Source: City police incident records, 2025 (each city's open-data portal); FBI 2025 counts for the check; U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 neighbourhood population
Why we trust it: Each city's 2025 total for each crime type was compared with its FBI count; any type where the city total is under two-thirds or over 1.5 times the FBI count is not shown for that city. Chicago robbery and car-theft totals match the police department's FBI-coded figures.

Crime odds by county

Your yearly chance of being a victim, as “1 in N residents”, for 8 kinds of crime, with how each county ranks against all U.S. residents (percentile: 90th means higher than places where 90% of Americans live). Shading is the violent-crime percentile. Domestic violence counts victims whose offender was a partner or family member. Odds are left out where police agencies covering under 75% of residents reported, where fewer than 1,000 people live, or where under 10 crimes were reported; the counts still show. Crimes against visitors and commuters are counted where they happen, so business and tourist areas can look higher than the risk to residents.

Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, 2025 (offences by agency and NIBRS incident files for domestic violence); U.S. Census Bureau population
Why we trust it: Built from the FBIs 2025 crime data by police agency, summed to counties. Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Denver and Seattle match the FBIs published table exactly; Los Angeles, Sacramento and Fresno counties match California DOJ within 0.6%.

Crime odds by police department

One dot per police department or sheriff, at the location the FBI lists for it. Each popup gives crimes reported in 2025 as “1 in N residents a year”, and how the rate ranks: the 70th percentile means 70% of Americans live where the rate is lower. Darker dots rank higher for violent crime; grey dots have too few reports for odds. These are reported crimes per resident, not anyone's personal risk: about 4 in 10 violent crimes are never reported, and shopping and resort towns look high because visitors aren't residents.

Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, 2025 (offences by agency; NIBRS incident files for domestic violence)
Why we trust it: Same FBI 2025 agency figures as the county layer, which matches the FBI's published tables and California DOJ within 0.6%.

Crime odds by neighbourhood

Crimes recorded by police in 2025 in each neighbourhood (census tract), as “1 in N residents a year”, and how the neighbourhood ranks within its own city: the 70th percentile means 70% of the city's residents live where the rate is lower. Shaded by violent crime; cities whose violent-crime records don't line up with the FBI's (including Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Seattle and Washington DC) are outlined but not shaded, and their other crime types are still in the popup. Downtown, airport and stadium areas look high because visitors aren't residents. Domestic violence is never shown by neighbourhood. Counts of 1 or 2 show “fewer than 3”.

Violent crimes per year by county

Most crime never reaches the police, so these numbers are a floor, not the full count. In 2024 only about half of violent crimes (48%) and fewer than 1 in 4 rapes and sexual assaults (24%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey, Criminal Victimization 2024). A low number does not mean an area is safe. FBI-reported offenses for 2021 to 2025 combined: the average per year from every city police department and sheriff in the county. Each agency counts only the years it reported all 12 months; incomplete years (such as many large cities in 2021, when the FBI changed reporting systems) are left out. Agencies covering several counties are counted in the county where their city is. Faded counties: under 60% of residents covered (under 30%: counts are partial, see the popup note). Unshaded: no police agency there reported a full year. Counts reflect reported crime only (about half of violent crime is never reported). Shading is the raw count, so bigger counties are usually darker; the popup also gives the rate per 100,000. Where the FBI file leaves a county empty or thin, official state figures fill it (New York DCJS for the five NYC boroughs, Georgia GBI, Puerto Rico Police); the popup names the source.

Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting 2021-2025 (agency level, Return A), averaged and summed by county by Map the Block; Census population
Why we trust it: County totals add up to 91.2% of all FBI-reported violent crime (the rest is state police and campus agencies, which have no resident population); multi-county agencies placed by their city's location.

Homicide deaths by county (CDC death records)

Deaths ruled homicides on death certificates (U.S. CDC, National Center for Health Statistics), per year on average for 2016-2022, by the county where the person lived. A coroner or medical examiner rules every death, so this count does not depend on how police classify a case. Compare it with murders reported by police (FBI, 2021-2025): the years differ, and homicides peaked in 2020-2022, so small differences are expected; a large, lasting gap is worth asking your police department about. The CDC does not publish counties with fewer than 10 homicide deaths in the 7 years, and has no county figures for Puerto Rico.

Source: U.S. CDC National Center for Health Statistics (National Vital Statistics System) mortality files, as published by County Health Rankings & Roadmaps 2025 (University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute)
Why we trust it: Philadelphia: 411 a year here vs 411 from the city's own yearly homicide counts for 2016-2022. National sum of published counties (20,671 a year) is about 95% of the CDC national total, the rest being small counties the CDC does not publish.

Colours show the raw yearly count; the popup also gives the rate per 100,000 residents of the agency's area. Sheriffs usually cover only unincorporated areas. City police dots sit at the Census center point of their city; others at the FBI's reference point. Dots mark the agency, not where crimes happened. Where an agency recorded murder motives, the popup also shows how many 2025 murders police classified as gang-motivated (FBI homicide reports).

State and federal prisons

How many people each prison holds, from each agency's own latest report: the Bureau of Prisons weekly, states monthly to yearly. Bigger circle = more people. Florida, Texas, West Virginia, Missouri, New Mexico and Arizona don't publish counts per prison, so those show capacity. Some states report monthly averages instead of a single day. No individual records are shown.

Why we trust it: Federal and California counts add up exactly to their published totals, and 36 of 39 states that publish both facility counts and a total match within 1% (the rest are explained gaps such as contract beds). 92% of state prison locations are confirmed by a mapped prison within 3 km.

Gang-related murders (by state & police agency)

Each department decides what counts as gang-related. A blank or low number can mean the department rarely records it, not that there is none. Counts of 1 or 2 show as 'fewer than 3'. Don't compare places. Police often record no motive at all, and the popup shows how often. Police reports undercount gang violence because motive often isn't recorded; each popup also shows an independent estimate from CDC death records (NVDRS) and local research, as a range.

Gang violence in the 200 most violent cities

Each department decides what counts as gang-related, and most big departments publish nothing. A blank, 0 or low number usually means the motive was not recorded or not published, not that there is none. Definitions differ (motive, gang member involved, group member involved), so don't compare cities. Shading covers the whole city, not where crimes happened. Police reports undercount gang violence because motive often isn't recorded; each popup also shows an independent estimate from CDC death records (NVDRS) and local research, as a range. Shading uses the reported counts.

Source: Police annual reports and year-end releases, city violence-reduction reports, NICJR/NNSC problem analyses, California DOJ homicide file, police open data (LA, Dallas, Tacoma, LA County Sheriff), FBI Supplementary Homicide Reports 2025 (cited per city)
Why we trust it: 136 cross-checks across the 200 cities: 48 match, 7 close; the rest compare against state/FBI motive coding, which captures only part of a department's own count. CA DOJ statewide 189 vs Table 21 190; LAPD 2021 231 vs 232. City ranks 101-200 match the FBI's Table 8 violent-crime counts exactly.

Bars and nightlife

Bars, pubs, nightclubs and beer gardens mapped in OpenStreetMap: about 40,900 nationwide. Dense areas are thinned when zoomed out; zoom in to see every place. Places open and close often, so check before you go.

Source: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); checked against the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns 2023 count of drinking places
Why we trust it: Nationwide, 40,625 mapped bars vs 41,236 drinking-place businesses counted by the Census Bureau (99%). State by state it varies (0.4x to 6.7x) because states license and classify bars differently.

LGBTQ+ Degenerate bars & clubs

Bars, clubs and other venues that OpenStreetMap mappers list as mainly or only for LGBTQ+ people: 394 places. This is incomplete: a 2023 study counted about 830 gay and lesbian bars nationwide, so a missing place usually just hasn't been listed yet.

Source: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), venues tagged lgbtq=primary or only; total compared with Mattson (2023), Socius
Why we trust it: One source (OpenStreetMap). Its total is about 47% of the national count in a 2023 study (Mattson, Socius), so many venues are missing.

Gun shops

Only licence types 01 (dealers and gunsmiths) and 02 (pawnbrokers) with evidence of a public storefront: a shop mapped in OpenStreetMap or listed as a store in Overture Maps, the shop's own website showing its address or phone, or a known retail chain. Every other dealer licence, including home-based dealers that trade under a business name, appears only as a count in a ½-mile area in the "Gun dealers without a storefront" layer. Collectors, manufacturers and importers are left out. Holders' personal names are never shown. Phone numbers are shown only for shops confirmed as storefronts in OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps. Each hours, phone and website row says where it came from (OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps or the shop's own website). Call before you go.

Source: U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Listing of Federal Firearms Licensees, September 2026 (official); OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL, non-official) and Overture Maps Foundation Places 2026-09-23.1 (CDLA-Permissive-2.0, non-official) for websites and phones; hours from OpenStreetMap or the shop's own website; placed with the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder
Why we trust it: Since 17 October 2026 a licence is shown as a point only with evidence of a public storefront: a matching OpenStreetMap shop (3,804), a matching Overture Maps retail place (10,873; a place known only from a Facebook page counts only outside gun-store listings and residential-looking streets), the shop's own website showing its phone or street (4,468), a known retail chain (4,637), or a gun shop found only in OpenStreetMap (614). 30 of 30 sampled points carry that evidence; 30 sampled withheld licences showed no clear storefront in the same data. 25 of 25 sampled shops match their ATF listing row exactly (name, address, licence type). Geocoded ATF shops sit a median 152 m from the matching OpenStreetMap shop; 99.9% sit inside their own state. The 13 monthly ATF files on hand are consistent. Websites and phones added from Overture Maps were matched by name within 300 m (or the same phone within 2 km), and each website was kept only if the shop's own page shows its phone, street or ZIP, or its domain names the shop: 25 of 25 sampled added websites belong to the same business. 21 of 25 sampled hours taken from shops' own websites match the page exactly; the other 4 were site-builder defaults, which are now left out.

Gun dealers without a storefront (½-mile area)

Many of these licences are run from a home, so no point, address, name, licence number or phone is ever shown: each licence is counted in an H3 hexagon about ½ mile across. Shading is the raw number of licences in the area. Collectors, manufacturers and importers are not included.

Source: Exact addresses withheld for privacy (½-mile area). Source: ATF Federal Firearms Licensee list, Sept 2026
Why we trust it: The 36,898 licences covered are every type 01/02 licence on the September 2026 ATF list that is not a storefront point in Gun shops (a second licence at the same address under the same name counts once). Hexagon counts add up to the 32,440 placed licences; the publish gate refuses the file if any feature holds anything besides the area id, count, licence types and source.

Liquor stores

Stores that sell spirits to take home. Where a state's licence class also covers groceries, convenience stores, gas stations and drugstores (CA, FL, WA, MO, NE, ND, WY, DE, IL, MA, KY, AZ), a licence is kept only when its name says liquor, spirits, package store and the like, it is a known liquor chain, or OpenStreetMap or Overture shows a liquor store there. Beer and wine shops, bars and grocery stores are not included. In PA, NC, VA, NH, VT, ME, OH, ID, UT and MT spirits are sold only in state or agency stores, so only those are shown, and many agency stores inside other shops are missing (Ohio, Maine, Vermont). Licence holders' personal names are never shown. Stores marked approximate are at the centre of their ZIP or city (rural-route addresses the geocoder cannot place).

Source: State licence lists (official open data / public records): NY State Liquor Authority; Texas ABC; California ABC; Florida DBPR Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco; Colorado Liquor Enforcement; Connecticut DCP; Oregon OLCC; Washington LCB; Missouri ATC (data.mo.gov); Oklahoma ABLE; North Dakota Attorney General; Nebraska LCC; Wyoming Liquor Division; Montana DOR; Delaware Division of Revenue; DC ABCA; Alabama ABC Board; Utah DABS (UGRC); City of Chicago; City of Boston; Baltimore City Liquor Board; Anne Arundel County; Louisville Metro (KY ABC); City of Tucson GIS (AZ DLLC). OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) and Overture Maps Foundation Places (CDLA-Permissive-2.0), both non-official
Why we trust it: 25 of 25 sampled stores in NY, TX, CO, CT and OR are still listed at the same address on the state portal, and 113 of 114 sampled stores from the 18 newer official lists match a second lookup at their source. Overture-only stores: 46 of 183 checked on their own websites show the same address or phone (most others are chain or app pages with no address); Overture stores are not added in VA, NH and ME, where none could be confirmed. Totals vs the Census 2023 count are within 0.5-1.6x in 46 states and DC; low in PA 0.38, OH 0.23 and ME 0.08 (only state or agency stores sell spirits there, and Census also counts beer and wine shops), high in UT 2.18 (Census leaves out state-run stores).

Planned Parenthood Baby Killing Health Centers

In-person Planned Parenthood health centers, with each center's own name and address only. School-based sites (students only), offices, labs, pharmacies and centers no longer listed by Planned Parenthood are left out. Hours and websites come from OpenStreetMap and are missing for most centers. Services differ by center and by state law, so call or check online before you go.

Why we trust it: 21 of 25 sampled centers match an active Planned Parenthood practice address in the live CMS NPPES registry; 3 others are Title X directory sites with no registry entry in that ZIP, and 1 has a different registry address. Every center shown matches one of the in-person centers Planned Parenthood itself lists, by ZIP or city (virtual, mail-order and online-only pages left out).

Abortion laws by state

State abortion law as of 2026-10-16: the gestational limit now enforced, its exceptions and penalties, with the statute. Where a stricter ban is blocked by a court but a lesser limit is enforced, the state is shaded by the enforced limit and the blocked ban is described in the popup. Yearly counts are abortions by the state where they happened (not where the patient lives): CDC Abortion Surveillance 2013-2022 (the newest CDC year published); a few states do not report to CDC, so those years come from the Guttmacher Institute's Abortion Provider Census when it published a figure for that year, labelled non-official, and are left blank otherwise (never estimated). Years after the newest CDC year are Guttmacher Institute Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates (non-official, rounded to 10); they count telehealth abortions in the state where the pills were received, including those prescribed from other states, which is why some states with bans show counts. Not legal advice.

Source: State statutes; CDC Abortion Surveillance; gaps and 2023-2025 from Guttmacher Institute (non-official)
Why we trust it: Law as of 2026-10-16, drafted from statute text on official legislature code sites (or the enacted bill/act PDF, court notices and official ballot pages) for 46 of 51 jurisdictions. CA, DC, IN, OK and TN official code hosts refuse or block us, so those rest on official secondary pages (CA Legislative Analyst, OK Attorney General memo) plus KFF/Guttmacher/CRR cross-checks. 327 quoted checks were re-matched by script against the saved pages (308 matched exactly or letter-for-letter; the rest are summaries of cross-check tables), and the operative limit was read by hand in the statute or ruling for 17 states. Every state was compared with KFF, Guttmacher or the Center for Reproductive Rights: 12 differences remain and are explained in the popups (e.g. WY, where KFF still lists a 6-week limit that a court blocked on 2026-04-24). Counts: every CDC year 2013-2022 adds up to CDC's stated national total (2014 off by 1 inside CDC's own table); 30 random CDC rows, all 23 Guttmacher gap-fill rows and all 153 Guttmacher 2023-2025 rows were re-read from the source tables and match. 16 state-years (CA, MD, NH 2015/2018/2021/2022; NJ 2021-2022; WY 2015, 2018) are left blank because no reliable source states a figure.

No religion (estimated adults, PRRI)

Estimated number of adults who describe themselves as having no religion (atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular), from PRRI's county survey model applied to each county's adults.

Encampment reports to 311 (cities)

How many times people reported a homeless encampment to the city's 311 / service-request line from inside each area about 1 mile across, per year. These are REPORTS, not people and not camps: one camp can get hundreds of reports, many get none, and reporting habits differ a lot between neighborhoods and cities, so compare areas within one city, not across cities. Areas with 1 or 2 reports show as “fewer than 3”. No individual location is shown.

Source: City open-data portals: MyLA311 (CC0), SF 311 (PDDL), OAK 311, San Jose 311 (CC0), San Diego Get It Done (PDDL), Sacramento 311 Calls View, Seattle Unauthorized Encampment Reports, Portland Impact Reduction Program Campsite Reports, NYC 311, Dallas 311 (PDDL), KCMO 311, Philadelphia 311
Why we trust it: Every city's download matched the city server's own count (Sacramento 2026: +2 reports that arrived during the download).

All protests and riots, 2017-2026 (by place)

Every in-person protest, march, rally, vigil or riot the Crowd Counting Consortium logged from news and social media, one dot per city or town. Arrests and injuries are 'at least' figures (many reports give no number). 'Damage and costs in dollars' appears where an official or news source published a figure. 2016 is not included: the consortium started in 2017.

Source: Crowd Counting Consortium (Harvard Kennedy School and University of Connecticut), protest events 2017-2026; dollar figures from published official and news sources (see Riots damage in dollars)
Why we trust it: Every event with a location is placed; 212 places the consortium filed under the wrong state (e.g. Minneapolis, MI) were moved to the state their map point is in. Arrests, injuries and damage are totals of what news reports gave, so they are minimums.

Campus protests, 2017-2026 (by college)

Protests held on or at a college or university campus, including the 2024 Gaza encampments. Arrests are 'at least' figures from news reports. A campus is listed when at least 2 events name it.

Source: Crowd Counting Consortium (Harvard Kennedy School and University of Connecticut), protest events 2017-2026; dollar figures from published official and news sources (see Riots damage in dollars)
Why we trust it: Arrest totals were checked against official and news counts for the largest 2024 encampments: every campus is at or above the sourced single-event figure (Columbia 322 vs 108 + 112 + 80; City College 173 vs 170; Cal Poly Humboldt 35 vs 32; Indiana 58 vs 57; UC Irvine 47 vs 47; Stanford 13 vs 13).

Riots damage in dollars

Dollar figures for protests and unrest, one marker per protest and place; bigger markers mean larger figures. Each popup lists every figure found and what it counts: property damage, insured losses, the cost of the police or troop response, or legal settlements. These are different things and are never added up. The 2020 protests caused an estimated $1 to $2 billion or more in insured losses nationwide (Property Claim Services), the largest on record. Places with no published dollar figure are not shown here.

Source: City, state and federal reports, insurers (Property Claim Services, Insurance Information Institute), courts and news reports quoting them
Why we trust it: Each figure is labelled with who published it, and most were confirmed by a second source. Figures are never added together because they count different things.

George Floyd Riots, 2020 (by place)

One marker per city or town: how many protests were recorded there in 2020 after George Floyd's killing, and how many had property damage, arson or clashes reported. Bigger markers mean more protests; darker markers mean more events with damage. Most protests had no damage reported. Arrest and injury numbers are minimums, since many reports give no number. Dollar figures are in the “Protest damage in dollars” layer.

Natural hazard risk (FEMA)

FEMA's National Risk Index: expected yearly losses from 18 natural hazards, adjusted for how vulnerable and resilient each county is. Scores rank counties against each other (higher = more risk). It's a modelled long-run estimate, not a prediction, and it rates poorer places higher because they're more vulnerable.

Superfund cleanup sites

Sites on EPA's National Priorities List (final) or proposed for it, where EPA is managing a long-term cleanup. Being listed means EPA is handling the cleanup; it doesn't by itself mean people are exposed today. Each dot is the centre of EPA's mapped site boundary.

Source: U.S. EPA, Superfund site boundaries and NPL status (October 2026)
Why we trust it: 1,321 final sites mapped = 98% of the 1,343 EPA lists on its NPL summary page (August 2026); 36 proposed vs EPA's 37. 99.5% of dots fall inside the state EPA lists for the site.

Industrial chemical releases (TRI 2024)

Facilities that reported releases of listed chemicals to EPA's Toxics Release Inventory for 2024: total pounds released on site (air, water, land) and sent off site for disposal. These are amounts the companies reported, mostly under permits, not a measure of health risk. Mines report the most pounds, mostly as waste rock on their own land.

Source: U.S. EPA Toxics Release Inventory, reporting year 2024 (basic data file)
Why we trust it: Kentucky: 405 facilities vs 404 in Kentucky's own 2024 TRI report, and the two facilities checked (North American Stainless, Phoenix Paper Wickliffe) match to the pound. National total 3.29 billion lb from 21,482 facilities vs EPA's latest National Analysis (2023): 3.3 billion lb, 21,000+ facilities.

Source: U.S. EPA AirData, annual AQI by county 2024; EPA Air Quality Design Values 2023-2025 (June 2026)
Why we trust it: Compared with EPA's separate 2023-2025 ozone design values: counties with more unhealthy days have higher ozone values (rank correlation 0.63 over 574 counties), and 99% of the 96 counties over the ozone standard had at least one unhealthy day in 2024.

Source: U.S. EPA SDWIS via ECHO drinking-water download (September 30, 2026)

Source: U.S. EPA Map of Radon Zones (county list re-posted June 2024)
Why we trust it: All 99 Iowa counties are Zone 1, as Iowa's health department says; zone totals (1,074 / 1,032 / 1,038) are within 0.2% of EPA's list after matching names to today's counties.

Lead paint risk (homes built before 1950)

How many homes (houses and apartments) were built before 1950, and their share of all homes. Paint from before 1950 is the most likely to contain lead, and lead paint was banned for homes in 1978, so older homes are the main source of lead poisoning in children. This shows risk, not test results: many older homes have been fixed up. Children under 6 in an older home should get a blood lead test (ask a doctor or the local health department). Neighbourhood figures are survey estimates; faded areas have a wide margin of error.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034 (year structure built)
Why we trust it: Matches the Census Bureau's own published shares of homes built before 1950 (table DP04) to within 0.15 point in all 3,222 counties and all 11,560 neighbourhoods checked in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.

Bridges in poor condition

Highway bridges whose deck, beams, piers or culvert were rated 4 (poor) or worse at their last inspection.

Darker dots carry more traffic.

Source: U.S. Federal Highway Administration, National Bridge Inventory 2025 (state bridge inspections)
Why we trust it: Exactly matches FHWA's published 2025 condition table: 41,685 poor bridges out of 624,193 nationally, and the same counts for Iowa (4,423), Pennsylvania (2,813) and Illinois (2,563). 99.8% sit inside their own state; the rest cross state-line rivers.

High-hazard dams

High hazard means people downstream would probably die if the dam failed. It is about what lies below the dam, not how likely it is to fail. The condition rating covers repair: Satisfactory (no problems found), Fair (fine in normal weather; a rare flood or earthquake could cause one), Poor (a problem needs more study or repair), Unsatisfactory (a problem needs fixing right away). Many federal dams, such as Hoover Dam, do not publish a rating. Darker dots are in worse condition.

Source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Inventory of Dams (public map service, October 2026)
Why we trust it: All 16,971 dams the Army Corps counts as high hazard are on the map. 99.7% sit inside their own state; the rest are on state-line rivers. Spot checks match: Oroville Dam 770 ft, Hoover Dam 730 ft, and Michigan's Edenville Dam, which failed in 2020, is rated Unsatisfactory.

Taxes collected by state (FY2025)

Every tax the state government collected in its fiscal year 2025: income, sales, corporate, fuel, tobacco, licenses and the rest. Local taxes (mostly property tax) are not included here; the popup also gives state + local taxes for FY2024. A $0 line means the state does not levy that tax.

U.S. senators and campaign money

Both U.S. senators for each state, senior senator first. The money period is the six years ending with each senator's last election (for example 2019-2024 for a senator elected in 2024), the same span the FEC shows; appointed senators not yet elected show 2025-26 so far. Shading adds the two senators' totals, so states whose senators faced costly races are darker. Money is what the member's own campaign committees reported to the Federal Election Commission. 'Donors employed by' adds up itemized contributions (generally over $200 a year) from people who wrote that employer on the form; it is not money from the company itself. 'PACs giving the most' are direct contributions from political action committees, including a company's or union's PAC and leadership PACs run by other politicians; party committees are listed separately. Industry totals are not shown: the FEC does not classify donors by industry. Outside spending by super PACs and other groups is not included, except the United Democracy Project rows, which are labelled as spending about the member, not money given to the member. AIPAC rows: Source: FEC filings by AIPAC PAC (C00797670), the federal PAC of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee: Schedule B line 23 contributions to the member's FEC candidate committees, plus United Democracy Project (C00799031) independent expenditures. Earmarked contributions are given by individuals and passed on by AIPAC PAC as a conduit. Two-year cycles 2022, 2024 and 2026 (to the latest FEC data, Oct 2026). Money given to leadership PACs and party committees is not included. Career total: every House and Senate campaign the member has run since 1979-80 (FEC), counting money moved between their own committees once; presidential runs not included. Largest donor: the company or group whose employees and PAC gave the most, 2015-2026 (no individual donors named). Net worth: estimated from each member's financial disclosure ranges (House Clerk; Senate eFD), household including spouse; excludes the primary home (not reported), and open-ended ranges count at their minimum. The earliest figure is the earliest electronically filed report (year shown); a few members file on paper and aren't read.

Why we trust it: Total raised matched FEC's own candidate pages to the dollar for 10 of 10 sampled members (5 senators, 5 representatives, both parties); itemized individual totals within 5% of the same pages. Committee-level and candidate-level FEC totals agree within 1% for 531 members. PAC contributions reported by the PACs come to a median 98% of what members reported receiving.

Concealed carry rules

Whether an adult needs a state permit to carry a concealed handgun. 'Shall-issue' means the permit must be issued to anyone who meets the written criteria. The Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision ended 'may-issue' permits based on showing a special need; the seven jurisdictions it named as may-issue (CA, DC, HI, MD, MA, NJ, NY) have since rewritten their laws and are shown separately. Ages and details are in the popup.

Source: State statutes (official legislature code sites), state police / attorney general pages and court orders; citation for every item is in the popup. Compiled by Map the Block, law as of 2026-10-06
Why we trust it: Drafted from the statutes, then checked against official pages fetched for this layer (state code sites, state police and county pages, court orders, bill-status pages): 80 automated text checks passed across 29 states and 12 more items were settled by reading the page; 7 draft values were corrected that way (WV permitless age, CT long-gun age, MN waiting period, NM injunction scope, ND and MT carry rules, WA training requirement). All states were also compared item by item with a separate summary table (283 comparisons): 3 differences remain, each explained in the report. RAND's database and NCSL refused or block AI crawlers, so neither was used; CA, HI and DC code sites refused or block us, so those states rest on statute citations plus the table cross-check.

Why we trust it: Drafted from the statutes, then checked against official pages fetched for this layer (state code sites, state police and county pages, court orders, bill-status pages): 80 automated text checks passed across 29 states and 12 more items were settled by reading the page; 7 draft values were corrected that way (WV permitless age, CT long-gun age, MN waiting period, NM injunction scope, ND and MT carry rules, WA training requirement). All states were also compared item by item with a separate summary table (283 comparisons): 3 differences remain, each explained in the report. RAND's database and NCSL refused or block AI crawlers, so neither was used; CA, HI and DC code sites refused or block us, so those states rest on statute citations plus the table cross-check. Law as of 2026-10-06.

National parks & sites

Every National Park Service site: national parks, monuments, historic sites, battlefields, seashores, recreation areas, trails and more. Green shading is Park Service land; click a dot for acres, hours, entrance fee, 2025 visitors and the official nps.gov page. Hours were read from nps.gov in October 2026 and do not include dated seasonal closures or holidays; check the official site before you go.

Source: U.S. National Park Service: unit boundaries (Land Resources Division), Acreage Report (Sept 30, 2026), park pages on nps.gov (hours, fees), Visitor Use Statistics (2025)
Why we trust it: Acres add up to the Park Service's own September 30, 2026 acreage report (85,160,472 of 85,160,480 gross acres; the gap is rounding). 434 units against the 433 the Park Service lists: one historic site or park is counted differently. Spot checks: Yellowstone 2,219,791 acres, Great Smoky Mountains 522,427, Grand Canyon 1,201,647, Thaddeus Kosciuszko (smallest) 0.02.

State parks

States count their park systems differently (some include trails, forests or historic sites), so totals won't match every state's own number exactly. Hours and fees change; check the official site before you go.

Source: USGS Protected Areas Database of the U.S. (PAD-US 4.1); state park agencies' open data (CA, NY, PA, TN, TX, FL, NJ, KY, HI, UT, MT and others); OpenStreetMap contributors for some hours, phones, fees and camping
Why we trust it: Wisconsin trimmed to the DNR's official park list (Ice Age Trail reserve parcels removed); South Dakota parks matched to Game, Fish & Parks' official list. Counts close to the states' own: MN 66+8 vs 64+9, PA 122 vs 125, MI 99 vs 103, TX 84 vs 89. Acres within ~1-5% of official figures (Custer, Baxter, Anza-Borrego, Big Basin).

White

Statewide counts and rates of people recorded at each stage of the justice system, by the race recorded on the report. Offenders and victims come from police incident reports sent to the FBI; arrests come from each state's own crime-reporting program; prison counts come from state prison records via BJS. Rates are per 10,000 residents of the same group. No rate is shown when fewer than 60% of a state's residents are covered, when fewer than 20 people are counted, or when a state does not publish usable data; counts of 1-2 show as 'fewer than 3'.

Why we trust it: Sum of the 51 state NIBRS tabulations is within 0.08% of the FBI's national Tables 7 and 11 (every race cell within 0.14%). Census county totals match the state file exactly. Washington's own 2025 report matches our counts within 0.1-3.5% for robbery, burglary, larceny and car theft, with the same race shares; Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Virginia and South Carolina reports agree within the differences in offense definitions and year. State arrest totals were compared with FBI Table 69 (details in research/77).
