CitiesDetroit, Michigan

Summary

Darker amber is a higher unemployment rate. Each city is a marked point on the US state map. Alaska and Hawaii are inset. Places without a packaged map dot stay in the ranking and table. Puerto Rico cities are in the ranking and table but are not drawn here.

Among the 346 US cities with at least 100,000 residents, a typical city has an unemployment rate of 5.5%, the midpoint of those 346 rates on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates, so half of these cities sit above that mark and half below. San Juan, Puerto Rico has the highest rate at 14.4%, followed by Detroit, Michigan at 14.1% and Ponce, Puerto Rico at 13.9%. Sioux Falls, South Dakota is the lowest at 2.3%. 122 cities are at or above 6 percent. These are each city's own unemployment rate (unemployed people divided by the civilian labor force for the population 16 years and over), not a national average of cities, and not the monthly BLS figure.

Summary

Unemployment rate, unemployed count, civilian labor force and related employment-status counts for every US city of 100,000 or more on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates. Sort any column or use the filter box to jump to a city by name. Each unemployment rate is that city's own share of the civilian labor force, so those columns cannot be averaged into a United States figure.

About this data

The unemployment rate is unemployed people divided by the civilian labor force for the population 16 years and over (ACS table B23025). It is not the official monthly BLS unemployment rate.
A city unemployment rate is that city's own share, so these figures cannot be averaged to produce a national figure. A midpoint of city rates is not the US unemployment rate.
Only Census places with at least 100,000 residents on the 2023 ACS five-year total population estimate (table B01003) are included. Smaller places are left out.
Puerto Rico places that meet the population cutoff are in the ranking and table. Alaska and Hawaii cities appear on the ranking; on the map they are shown in inset when a packaged city dot exists.
Places without a packaged map dot stay in the ranking and table.
Some margins of error are ACS controlled-estimate sentinels (for example ***** / −555,555,555) rather than ordinary sampling errors. Those values are stored as missing and shown as a dash.
