How to remove information from City-Data

Apr 9, 2025

City-Data is an online data broker that collects information from a number of private and government sources. They create detailed reports on millions of individuals in every city in America. 

City-Data provides information on virtually every detail of your city. Including graphs of the latest real estate prices and sales trends, recent home sales, a home value estimator, hundreds of thousands of maps, satellite photos, demographic data (race, income, ancestry, education, employment), geographic data, state profiles, crime data, registered sex offenders, cost of living, and more.

The intrusive nature of the data collected provides personal information that you may want to keep private. 

To complete the City-Data opt-out process, you can request that your name be removed from your street-level address. 

  1. Visit the City-Data opt-out page https://www.city-data.com/delrequest/form.php
    www.city-data.com removal
  2. Fill out the Request to disassociate name form
  3. City-Data will send a confirmation to validate your email
  4. Your request to opt-out will be processed by City-Data

You have successfully opted out of City-Data. The website states that you should allow 24-48hrs for the website to reflect these changes. 

City-Data will then instruct their partner sites not to display your profile in their results as well. You are one step closer to online privacy. Once you have completed the City-Data opt-out process, there are 100+ websites that still collect and display your information on the internet. To opt-out of all data brokers and receive monthly monitoring and privacy reporting, Reputation Privacy is ready to help.
