About this ranking. Incorporated towns are municipalities recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau; census-designated places, townships, and unincorporated communities are not included, and uninhabited places are excluded, so this ranks inhabited towns. Each elevation is approximate: it is measured at the Census interior point, a point inside the town's boundary rather than the town center or city hall, using U.S. Geological Survey elevation data, so it can run somewhat above the town-center figure some sources publish. Treat these as within-the-limits elevations, not a single canonical height.
