How ZipFactbook works
- Public sources only. Every figure comes from a published U.S. government dataset, linked on the page.
- Counted, not guessed. We aggregate and sort the raw records. We never estimate, model or fill in missing values.
- Limits stated up front. Each page says what the data covers and what it misses, so you can judge how far to trust it.
More datasets are on the way. Flood history comes first because it is the question people most often cannot get a straight answer to before buying or renting a home. See about the data for sources and method.
