Where you live

Enter your ZIP code or street address to find your city or town below and the people who decide this for you, by name. SourceLine does not keep the address.

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 neighbors, report what you see, and attend the public meetings where police and jail budgets are set.

    Ask: What is already working on our block, and who needs to hear about it?

  2. Your mayor, council, county commission, sheriff and district attorney Set police and jail budgets, choose the police chief, and decide which cases are brought to court.

    Ask: What is the plan to lower violent crime here, and how will we know whether it worked?

  3. Your state legislators Write criminal law and fund courts, prisons and help for victims.

    Ask: How much does our state spend on preventing crime compared with prisons?

  4. Your members of Congress Fund grants for local police, violence prevention and victim services.

    Ask: Which federal safety grants reached our county last year?

Method and sources

Violent crimes reported per 100,000 residents covered by reporting agencies. Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, crimes reported by police agencies, calendar year 2025.

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.
