US Residential Proxies by City: 30 Major Cities with ZIP Targeting

Which US cities have their own residential proxy page?

30 US cities have a StatesideIP page: the 28 most populous cities, plus Atlanta and Miami. The table lists each city's 2025 Census Bureau population estimate, metro area, DMA with its rank, and area codes. Each name links to the city page, which adds ZIP code examples, neighborhoods and local ISPs.

How does city targeting work?

City targeting works by adding a city segment after the state code in the proxy username. The gateway format is USERNAME-country-{cc}-state-{state}-city-{city}-zip-{zip}-asn-{asn}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}; keep only the segments you need. City IDs are lowercase, with underscores for spaces: new_york, los_angeles, fort_worth, oklahoma_city.

• USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-chicago: a new Chicago IP on every request.
• USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-seattle-session-sea1-ttl-30: one Seattle IP for 30 minutes.
• USERNAME-country-us-zip-98101: an IP in ZIP 98101, Downtown Seattle.

Use port 7777 for HTTP or 7778 for SOCKS5 on gw.statesideip.com. The ZIP code targeting page explains the ZIP level.

curl --socks5-hostname gw.statesideip.com:7778 \

Can I target a city that is not listed?

Yes. City targeting is not limited to the 30 cities with a page; the same naming rule works for other US cities. For example, state-ny-city-buffalo targets Buffalo, New York. Coverage in smaller cities depends on how many residential IPs are online at that moment. StatesideIP publishes no per-city pool counts. When a small city returns few IPs, target one of its ZIP codes or the whole state. The US state pages list more cities for each state.

Which DMAs and time zones do these cities cover?

The 30 city pages cover all 10 of the largest DMAs and four US time zones. A DMA (Designated Market Area) is a media market that advertisers buy as one unit, so ad checks often follow DMA lines. Two DMAs hold two city pages each:

• Dallas-Ft. Worth (#4): Dallas and Fort Worth.
• San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (#9): San Francisco and San Jose.

Twelve cities are on Eastern time, 8 on Central, 3 on Mountain and 7 on Pacific. Phoenix does not observe daylight saving time. See ad verification for DMA-level checks and local SEO rank tracking for city SERPs.
