Look up a city

Type a city — Chattanooga TN, Athens GA — and see what it scores for planting on every measure the tool holds: growth, the Church of God’s coverage, viability, who lives there, the Futuros picture, arrivals, new homes and the health of the churches already there. A city here is the place name the Postal Service gives its ZIP codes — the city everyone means, not the city limits.

What the city score is.The population-weighted average of the city’s scored ZIP areas’ planting scores — 86% growth, 14% viability; how near a Church of God church is carries no weight — so a 52,000-person ZIP area counts for more than a 3,000-person one. The strongest ZIP area is shown beside it because a plant goes in a ZIP area, not in a city. Cities are the Postal Service place names carried by ZIP codes; Athens, Cleveland and sixty other names exist in both states and are listed separately.
