How complete is CountyWiki?

Geographic coverage, directory identities and detailed service information are measured separately.

379County identities
2124Incorporated places
13,560Directory entries
24Service domains
County and city identities cover the cited statewide geographic baseline. Detailed service coverage is partial. Historical district directories, current state profiles and source-reported contacts have different evidence dates; none establishes every service for every address.

Government types

Entries include independent governments and dependent public bodies. Counts are not a legal count of independent governments.

Source universes and denominators

“Complete” below refers only to the stated source collection, vintage and import rules. It does not imply all agencies or all current services.

CollectionReconciled rowsVintageScope and limits
County governments57 / 572026

57 county governments; San Francisco is represented once with municipalities.

Roster fields are self-reported by local jurisdictions; officeholders and election districts are not imported.

Incorporated cities and towns483 / 4832026

All 483 incorporated places in the January 1, 2026 Census file, reconciled to the 2026 California Roster.

A city name does not establish utility, school district, police-contract or parcel jurisdiction. San Francisco is one consolidated city-county entity.

California independent special districts (2022 Census baseline)2,949 / 2,9492022

All 2,949 native California-jurisdiction rows (FIPS_STATE=06) in the Special District worksheet of the 2022 Census of Governments.

Historical 2022 Census identity baseline, not proof of current operations or service availability. Membership uses jurisdiction FIPS_STATE=06, never mailing-address STATE. Three foreign identities were retired and three genuine California identities with out-of-state mailing addresses were explicitly reviewed and restored. Source classification and principal directory county do not establish unique legal-provider deduplication, service boundaries, visiting locations or current websites. Dependent districts and many joint-powers or other bodies not independently counted by Census are outside this source universe.

Community college districts72 / 722022

California independent school-government rows classified as post-secondary by Census.

Historical 2022 baseline; does not establish current district boundaries or college-campus coverage.

Public education agencies1,059 / 1,059Captured 2026-10-13

All active and pending district / county-office rows in the CDE public-districts file.

CDE data are voluntarily self-reported and may contain omissions or errors. Rows include dependent county offices, regional programs and state entities; they are not all independent governments.

Tribal governments108 / 108Captured 2026-10-13

BIA directory rows typed Tribe with a California office state or California in the tribal name.

This is a precisely scoped directory query, not proof of complete California tribal recognition or land coverage. Affiliates are excluded to avoid double-counting. Tribal governments are sovereign and are not subordinate to counties. Website fields may link to third-party directory pages.

State departments and public bodies236 / 236Captured 2026-10-13

All department links in the CA.gov departments list.

An entry may be a department, board, commission or another public body. It is not a separate state government, and a directory profile is not a review of all its services.

Superior Courts58 / 58Source snapshot 2026-10-13

All 58 county Superior Courts listed by the Judicial Council.

A court belongs to the state judicial branch. Directory links establish official starting points; record access, eligibility, fees and appointment availability are not inferred.

Supplemental reviewed public authorities3 / 3Reviewed 2026-10-15

Three individually reviewed public-authority records: Berkeley Housing Authority, Lassen Regional Solid Waste Management Authority and San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.

This fixed supplemental set is not a statewide JPA or dependent-district inventory. The current Fire Protection District identity has not been crosswalked to every historical Census fire-authority record; record counts are not legally unique-government counts.

Florida county governments66 / 662026

66 county governments; Duval County is consolidated with the City of Jacksonville and represented once with municipalities.

Directory websites establish official starting points; constitutional officers (Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, Supervisor of Elections, Sheriff) often operate separate domains.

Florida incorporated cities, towns and villages411 / 4112026

All 411 incorporated places in the January 1, 2026 Census file, reconciled to the Florida Department of State and 2022 Census of Governments municipal rosters.

A municipal name does not establish utility, school district, fire district or parcel jurisdiction. Jacksonville and Duval County form one consolidated city-county government.

Florida independent special districts1,374 / 1,3742022

All 1,374 native Florida jurisdiction rows (FIPS_STATE=12) in the Special District worksheet of the 2022 Census of Governments.

Historical 2022 jurisdiction baseline. Membership uses FIPS_STATE=12, never the mailing-address STATE field. Excludes Alabama WEST PACE COOPERATIVE DISTRICT (PID6 225487), whose mailing address is in Florida. Dependent districts and many regional authorities are outside this independent Census universe. Principal directory county is not a service boundary.

Florida College System institutions28 / 282026

All 28 public colleges in the Florida College System directory published by the Florida Department of Education.

Counties served reflect the statutory service areas listed by FLDOE; individual campus locations and program availability require institution-level verification.

Florida public education agencies80 / 80Captured 2026-10-28

All 80 public school district entries in the FLDOE Public School Districts directory (67 county school districts and 13 special school districts).

Includes 67 constitutional county school districts alongside university developmental research schools, Florida Virtual School, FSDB and specialized state educational programs.

Federally recognized tribal governments in Florida2 / 2Captured 2026-10-28

BIA Tribal Leaders Directory rows typed Tribe with a Florida office state or Florida in the tribal name.

Tribal governments are sovereign and are not subordinate to counties or the state.

Florida state departments and public bodies49 / 49Captured 2026-10-28

All 49 state agency entries in the Florida Department of State Agency Homepages directory.

An entry may be an executive department, constitutional officer, commission, board or other statewide body. A directory profile is not a review of all agency services.

Florida trial courts and county clerks87 / 87Captured 2026-10-28

All 67 County Clerks of the Circuit and County Courts and all 20 Judicial Circuits of the Florida state courts system.

Florida trial courts belong to the state judicial branch, while Clerks of the Circuit Court are county constitutional officers serving both judicial and county record roles.

Florida supplemental reviewed public authorities15 / 15Reviewed 2026-10-28

Florida's 5 regional Water Management Districts and 10 Regional Planning Councils listed by the Florida Department of State.

Fixed regional authority set from official Department of State directories; does not imply a complete inventory of all regional authorities in Florida.

Texas county governments254 / 2542026

All 254 Texas county governments.

254 county identities. County government homepages are separate from Tax Assessor-Collector/CAD department websites. Unconfirmed county homepages are omitted. The exact old URL and citation remain in private review history; access restrictions are distinguished from confirmed failures.

Texas incorporated municipalities (cities, towns, and villages)1,230 / 1,2302026

1,230 Texas Census incorporated-place geographic records as of January 1, 2026, including three inactive/nonfunctioning legal places (Harwood, Mustang and Nesbitt); this is not a count of active municipal governments.

Geographic county parts are reconciled against Census Vintage 2025 SUMLEV 157 source rows. Six places absent from that population geography retain separately evidenced 2026 county associations. Three Census FUNCSTAT I / CLASSFP C9 places are inactive. Historical 2022 municipal websites are directory baselines, not proof of current availability.

Texas independent special districts2,984 / 2,9842022

All 2,984 Texas independent special districts in the 2022 Census of Governments (MUDs, ESDs, hospital districts, water/drainage/navigation districts, housing authorities).

Historical 2022 Census of Governments baseline; County Appraisal Districts are classified separately under directory:tx-reviewed-authorities.

Texas public community college districts50 / 502022

All 50 Texas public community and junior college districts in the 2022 Census of Governments.

Principal county reflects the district administrative headquarters county in the 2022 Census of Governments; service and taxing boundaries may span multiple counties.

Texas independent school districts1,020 / 1,0202022

All 1,020 independent public school districts in Texas in the 2022 Census of Governments.

Principal county reflects the district administrative county in the 2022 Census of Governments; school district boundaries may cross county lines.

Federally recognized tribes in Texas3 / 32026

All 3 federally recognized Indian tribes in Texas from the Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Leaders Directory (Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, Ysleta del Sur Pueblo).

Tribal governments are sovereign nations and are never subordinated to county jurisdiction.

Texas state agencies, departments, and appellate courts156 / 1562026

156 retained state agency, board, commission and appellate judicial directory records from the Texas State Library list and a separately reviewed TDEM homepage; not a verified legal census of every current Texas state body.

Directory entries establish state agency identities; statewide programme guides and county service coverage are linked in offices and services.

Texas constitutional County Clerks and District Clerks444 / 4442026

All 444 constitutional County Clerks, District Clerks, and combined County & District Clerks across all 254 Texas counties (190 counties with separate County and District Clerks + 64 counties with a combined County & District Clerk).

Phone numbers and addresses come from the Texas Judicial Branch directory; websites come from the Texas DSHS Local Vital Record Offices directory.

Texas County Appraisal Districts and Local Workforce Development Boards282 / 2822026

All 254 statutory County Appraisal Districts (Tax Code Ch. 6) and all 28 Local Workforce Solutions Development Boards across Texas.

254 county-context appraisal-district directory identities and 28 workforce board entries. Shared domains, offices or administrative operations (including Potter/Randall) do not prove legal merger or unique physical providers. Counts are source-defined records, not a deduplicated inventory of service locations.

Services by topic and county

Clear

A state profile can appear in multiple topics. Local links may share a provider. Counts measure sourced links, not address-level service coverage.

The data dimensions

These rules define what must be known before a claim can be treated as complete. “Implemented” refers to the contract and checks; it is not a claim of universal data coverage.

Data remains partial

Geographic identity

Counties and incorporated places have stable official IDs; communities, parcel geometry and boundary vintages remain separate work.

A place name or postal address never substitutes for a jurisdiction boundary.

Data remains partial

Government and agency identity

Every identity is tied to an authoritative directory row and deduplicated within its defined universe.

Directories are separately scoped; dependent districts, JPAs and federal entities are not assumed complete.

Data remains partial

Jurisdiction and service territory

Legal jurisdiction, directory location and reviewed service territory are distinguished; exact applicability requires boundary evidence.

A county association cannot mean countywide service. A service inherits the reviewed office scope only until its own geography is reviewed; that fallback is not a completed program-specific boundary review.

Contract implemented

Functions and service taxonomy

Every task has a domain and provider role; roles requiring separate evidence have a jurisdiction-matched citation. Taxonomy membership remains independent of actual service evidence.

No role-only match counts as a reviewed service.

Data remains partial

Official service entry points

A precise saved link supports each entry point, separated from detailed application guidance.

A directory listing does not prove a program is open or the user is eligible.

Data remains partial

Contact information

Each phone, address and hours value has its own traceable citation; each is measured separately.

Missing telephone, address or hours remains missing; never fill from another office.

Data remains partial

Fees and payment conditions

Currency, unit, conditions, effective date and payment method are individually evidenced.

Unknown is not zero, free or included.

Data remains partial

Forms and required documents

Distinguish a linked form from its current version and the documents actually required.

A linked PDF is not automatically downloaded, reviewed or required.

Data remains partial

Eligibility and audience

Residence, age, income, household and other eligibility conditions are scoped to a specific program and source.

Do not infer eligibility from a directory location or a search match.

Data remains partial

Delivery and appointments

Evidence establishes the channel and any appointment requirement for the exact service.

A website or directory profile is not proof of an online transaction.

Data remains partial

Availability and processing

Open/closed status, deadlines, processing estimates and validity periods have dated evidence.

Fetching successfully never establishes application availability.

Data remains partial

Language and accessibility

Language support and accessibility are service-specific cited facts.

No general accessibility or multilingual claim is inferred from the agency name.

Data remains partial

Provider and government relationships

Parent government, consolidated roles and shared providers keep one stable identity with explicit associations.

Contracts, successor entities and joint-powers membership need separate reconciliation.

Contract implemented

Evidence and source version

Immutable bytes, excerpt, row/page/link and review method support each published claim.

A newer fetch cannot silently replace reviewed evidence or advance the review date.

Data remains partial

Freshness and lifecycle

Source vintage, agent review date and refresh target are separately visible; changes require reconciliation.

Historical baselines remain visibly historical until revalidated.

Contract implemented

Coverage and missing data

Use denominator-based directory checks and separate county/domain/field coverage; pagination completeness is distinct.

No single completeness percentage claims every government or service is covered.
