Comment on The FDA Is Approving Drugs Without Evidence They Work
limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoUnincorporated towns in Texas is 4k, I would guess the number of very unincorporated is a ratio of 2:1 nation wide I am not sure.
But using some rough math , and being incredibly stubborn to prove my point, that brings the total number up to 60k, of which 1/3 ( maybe) have seen economic hardship

You are guessing at numbers and figures now.
Can you find any statistics to look at? California as an example has about a million people living in unincorporated area. But that includes forests and other natural sites in it.
Where can i find that 4k unicorporated texas towns information?

I know the Texas count is accurate, I looked it up. I was too lazy and uninspired to look at other states. However I would be surprised if it were not at least half the corporate areas, nationally in total?

I’m trying to find any kind of statistics on the number of unicorporated towns, i cant find any, can you point me in a direction? Wiki article? Texas gov site? Federal gov site?
I’m not doubting your 4k number. It got me curious as to how many unincorporated towns there are.
Since texas is approx 30mil people and largest state land wise (unless alaska is bigger?)
I dont think your 60k number holds up. I think your rough math was completely off, but you could be right. Having a hard time getting anywhere finding out those numbers.
I’m not asking you to go look, I’m just asking for a place I can start looking.

Now you hit me curious too. This was my source on Texas www.texasalmanac.com/place-types/town
Also the total number of total towns is over 4,000 with only 3k unincorporated, I did get the numbers wrong even in Texas.
I had looked at Wikipedia but could not find totals, only lists
