101 cities rank in this category: each has at least 5 such listings and 10,000 or more residents. Within each size class, cities are ordered by the adjusted rate of listings per 10,000 residents, with the raw rate and the other measures on every row. Open in the explorer to rank by another measure or compare categories, or open it live in Explore to narrow it further.
Coverage. Style comes from the National Register index, Wikidata and, where the nomination text has been read, from the text itself. Nominations have been read for 50 states and the District of Columbia so far, so 101 of the 101 cities ranked here are in a state already read. This will shift as the rest are read.
