Crawford County

Cities and places in Crawford.

32 Census places lie wholly or partly in Crawford County. 32 carry enough published place level data for a page of their own and are linked. The rest are named here and not linked, because the American Community Survey and the SBA record between them do not carry enough about them to write an honest page. A place existing is itself worth knowing, so nothing in the county is left out.

A further 3 SBA approvals in Crawford County are recorded against borrower cities that match no Census place, the largest being Espyville, Saergertown. Those are postal cities and unincorporated areas rather than incorporated places, so no page claims them, and their lending is counted in this county's totals above rather than under any city.
