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.
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?
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?
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?
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?

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.
