# LocalKS

> The free, statewide directory of everything local in Kansas — businesses, services, healthcare providers, reviews, deals, and a local marketplace — built on open and government data, with hours, maps, and verified details for every city and town in the Sunflower State.

LocalKS pairs OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps with authoritative public datasets (NPPES NPI Registry, CMS Care Compare, Kansas DASC, NCES, US Census) to cover 102,848 published listings across 1,136 Kansas cities and towns (data as of August 1, 2026). Sourcing and methodology are documented at https://localks.com/data-sources.
