Our mission is to make sure Black communities are not simply informed about the decisions shaping our future, but equipped to help make those decisions. An informed community is a powerful community.

Who decides

From you up to Congress. Look up your address above and each step fills in with the people who hold that seat for you.

  1. You and your neighbors Know your rights as a renter or owner, check your property tax assessment, and show up when zoning is decided.

    Ask: Is my assessment right, and when is the deadline to appeal it?

  2. Your mayor, council and county commission Decide zoning, property taxes, code enforcement and how local housing money is spent.

    Ask: What is being built here, who can afford it, and who decided?

  3. Your state legislators Write landlord and tenant law and decide where the housing tax credit goes.

    Ask: Where did our state place its housing tax credits last year?

  4. Your members of Congress Fund rent help, public housing and the housing tax credit.

    Ask: How long is the wait for rent help in our county?

What you can do

  1. This weekLook up your property assessment or reread your lease, and write down any deadline.
  2. The next date that mattersThe next zoning hearing or property tax appeal deadline in your county.
  3. Where your voice is countedRaise what matters where you live on SourceLine issues. Only confirmed residents are counted, and SourceLine shares the totals, never names, with the body that decides.
Method and sources

Black households that own their home. Source: Census Bureau, American Community Survey, survey years 2020 to 2024.

The margin of error is how far the true figure could be from the one shown. Surveys ask some people, not everyone, so smaller places have wider margins. A place with too few people to measure well is listed but not ranked.

Population, voting age population, citizens of voting age, registered voters and people who voted are different counts. Each page says which one it uses.

Who decides: the people named come from SourceLine’s record of officeholders for the address you enter. Where SourceLine hasn’t updated a level for your area yet, that step says so.

About these figures

Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.

For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
