Ballotpedia provides in-depth coverage of all counties that overlap with the 100 largest cities by population in the United States. This page lists those counties by population in descending order. Note that some large counties in the United States are not listed because they do not overlap with one of the 100 largest cities and therefore are not within Ballotpedia's coverage scope.
Ballotpedia's county coverage
Local government receives only the most basic media coverage despite the fact that the decisions of local officials frequently have the most significant day-to-day impact on citizens of any level of government. Our editorial approach is to identify and fill gaps in the coverage of local politics across the United States to the extent that our resources allow. This requires prioritization of larger municipalities. Over time, we intend to expand our coverage scope.
