Staunton city, FIPS 51790, is home to 26,361 people - one of 386 US counties ASCE 7 itself routes around a map figure for.

Read this before you rely on it
Staunton city's number above is ASCE 7-22's default case, not a custom calculation: ordinary residential occupancy, heated, sited on ground that's neither fully sheltered nor fully exposed. Any one of those changing - pitch, exposure, heating, occupancy - moves the real figure.
Nothing here substitutes for an address-level number. Get one free, in about a minute, from the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool using your own coordinates rather than Staunton city's county-wide figure. See the methodology guide.
