Municipalities by population, according to 2020 census data

Rhode Island is astate located in theNortheastern United States. According to the2020 United States Census, Rhode Island is the8th least populous state with1,097,379[1] inhabitants and thesmallest by land area spanning 1,033.81 square miles (2,677.6 km2) of land.[2]It is divided into 39municipalities, including 8 cities and 31towns, grouped into 5 historicalcounties that have no municipal functions as the state has no county level of government.[3][4] The entire area of the state is incorporated; all Rhode Island residents live within the borders of a city or town[4] though some communities within towns and cities arecensus-designated places.

Municipalities in Rhode Island can incorporate as a town or city by a special act of the state legislature and there is no minimum population requirement.[4] Eight municipalities were re-incorporated as cities operating under a charter, while the other 31 remain as towns which perform similar services.[4] Since Rhode Island has no county level of government, cities and towns provide services commonly performed by county governments in other states.[4] The state's cities and towns may adopt one of four forms of government: council–manager, mayor–council, town council–town meeting, or administrator–council.[5] The primary difference between these forms of government is how the chief executive is selected.[5] TheCouncil–manager system involves an elected council who exercise overall control of the local government and a chief executive termed city or town manager who is generally appointed by and responsible to the council for the administration of local policies.[6] Council–manager systems may elect a mayor but they have no formal administrative functions with the potential exception of a degree of veto power.[6]Mayor–council systems have a similarly elected council however the mayor is elected and yields administrative power. In the town council–town meeting system, there is no full-time chief executive.[5]

The largest municipality by population in Rhode Island is the state capital ofProvidence, with 190,934 residents. The smallest municipality by population isNew Shoreham onBlock Island, with 1,410 year-round residents.[1] The largest municipality by land area isCoventry which spans 59.05 sq mi (152.9 km2), whileCentral Falls is the smallest at 1.20 sq mi (3.1 km2).[2]
