Eligible Units of Local Government

The 426 counties and cities/towns listed below had a population of more than 200,000 people in 

2019 according to the Census Bureau. The name of the county or city/town is the name as it 

appears in the Census Bureau’s City and Town Population Subcounty Resident Population 

Estimates file. 

The list below was created using the Census Bureau’s City and Town Population Subcounty 

Resident Population Estimates file from the 2019 Vintage.

1 The data are limited to active 

governments providing primary general-purpose functions and active governments that are 

partially consolidated with another government but with separate officials providing primary 

general-purpose functions.2 The list below also excludes Census summary level entities that are 

minor civil division place parts or county place parts as these entities are duplicative of 

incorporated and minor civil division places listed below.

1 The Census data file is available at https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2010-

2019/cities/totals/sub-est2019_all.csv and was accessed on 12/30/2020. Documentation for the data file can be 

found at https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/technical-documentation/file-layouts/2010-2019/subest2019.pdf. 2 These entities have a Functional Status Code of A or B. (More information on the Census Functional Status Codes 

is available at https://www.census.gov/library/reference/code-lists/functional-status-codes.html.) Entities with a 

Functional Status Code of C, active government consolidated with another government with a single set of officials, 

are excluded as they are duplicative of entities listed with a Functional Status Code of A or B. For example, Denver 

County, Colorado and Denver city, Colorado have identical populations, but Denver County has a Functional Status 

Code of C and is excluded from the list. Two exceptions are made for Jacksonville/Duval County, Florida and 

Indianapolis/Marion County, Indiana, which are consolidated city-county governments, but whose populations 

differ. For Jacksonville/Duval County and Indianapolis/Marion County, the counties’ populations are used to 

calculate the allocation.
