Where this list came from

**Source**

[IPEDS HD2023 (institutional characteristics) and DRVEF2023 (enrollment)](https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/data), National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) (2023-fall)

**License**

A work of the United States federal government. Not subject to domestic copyright (17 U.S.C. § 105).

**How we filtered it**

Active, degree-granting, four-year-and-above institutions in the 50 states and DC, ranked by total fall enrollment (ENRTOT), joined to HD on UNITID. The homepage is the institution's own IPEDS web address, verified by loading it, never a search result. Campuses of one system that share a homepage are collapsed to the largest. The four-year filter is ours: ranking every degree-granting institution by headcount opens the list with community-college districts, which answers a different question. For-profit universities stay in — dropping them would be a judgment about who deserves measuring rather than a fact about size.

**Instead of**

The US News ranking, which is a copyrighted compilation we may read but not relicense — and which ranks prestige rather than size, a judgment the Census has no business importing.

**Built**

2026-09-08

The filtering is ours and is disclosed as ours. The source published a list; the decision about which rows of it belong in a cohort was a judgment call, and it is written down so somebody can disagree with it.

The mean share of each dimension's available points that this cohort earned. Low here means the whole sector is weak on it, not that one site dragged an average down — the per-site spread is in the dataset.

How much of each site we read

The cap is 32 URLs and it is a ceiling, not a promise. A portal whose every link points at a different host yields one page; a university yields the full sample. The median here is **32**, the range 1–32 — published so that "we sampled 32 URLs per site" cannot become a claim the data does not support.

5 sites in this cohort served a certificate we could not verify. They were read anyway and scored normally — reporting no response for a site every browser loads would describe our TLS stack rather than the site — and each one carries the finding in its row.
