Source · US Census 2022 ACS 5-year (bike-to-work table B08301, population B01003) and the Census Gazetteer (location, land area). The map plots Piedmont among every California town from those coordinates. Census estimates for small places carry wide margins of error, so treat a small town's share as rough.
