Government

Federal agencies, Congress, states, counties, cities and tribal governments. They answer to different bodies and are built by different people, so each level has its own page and there is no single figure for government.

There is no single figure for government. Each segment is its own population, and a combined median would be a number about whichever segment has the most sites. How the Census is run, and what it can support, is on the methodology page.
