Top 2 cities per US state/DC by meeting count from live GetHelp sources (US TSML feeds + BMLT NA by state). City/state parsed from Meeting Guide formatted_address when needed. NYC boroughs rolled into New York.
Counts come from the same public feeds that power GetHelp's live meeting finder: Meeting Guide (TSML) feeds published by AA and Al-Anon intergroups, and the BMLT aggregator used by Narcotics Anonymous. Figures represent weekly listings in feeds we currently ingest, not every meeting in the country, so real coverage is higher. See our data sources for the full list.
