This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Toonami Reactor (talk | contribs) at 16:01, 5 August 2009 (→Incorporated places over 100,000 population: The population between Worcester and Providence wasn't right in the first place and is too close to call.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The following is a list of the most populous incorporated places in the United States. As defined by the United States Census Bureau, an incorporated place includes a variety of designations, including a city, town, village, borough, and municipality.Template:Scref Some census-designated places may also be included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places.Template:ScrefTemplate:Scref Consolidated city-counties represent a distinct type of government that includes the entire population of a county, or county equivalent. Some consolidated city-counties, however, include multiple incorporated places. This list presents only that portion (or "balance") of such consolidated city-counties that are not a part of another incorporated place.

Note that this list refers only to the population of individual municipalities within their defined limits, which does not include other municipalities or unincorporated suburban areas within urban agglomerations. A different ranking is evident when considering U.S. metropolitan area populations.

Template:FixBunching The following table lists the incorporated places in the United States with a population of more than 100,000 as estimated by the United States Census Bureau for July 1, 2008.[1] Population densities are also given by the U.S. Census Bureau, but are listed as of the 2000 U.S. Census.[2][3]

Since the U.S. Census Bureau typically does not rank the cities of U.S. territories along with those of the fifty states and the District of Columbia, the cities of Puerto Rico with populations greater than 100,000 are listed separately below.

Puerto Rico

The following table lists the incorporated municipalities (municipios) of Puerto Rico with a population greater than 100,000 as estimated by the United States Census Bureau on July 1, 2007,[4] and the rankings they would have if included in the above table.

Notes

  • ^ a: Towns in New England, while incorporated on a level similar to cities in other states, are considered Minor civil divisions by the Census Bureau and not included in its list of incorporated places. A detailed discussion on this subject can be found here.
  • ^ b: Hawaii has no incorporated municipalities other than the City and County of Honolulu, which actually includes the entire island of Oahu. In accordance with Hawaiian law, the U.S. Census Bureau defines the state's "cities" and "towns" as census-designated places (CDPs). The Census Bureau defines Honolulu CDP as the portion of the City and County that is coextensive with the Judicial District of Honolulu. Honolulu CDP is what is generally thought of as the "city" of Honolulu, and its population is used here and in other population comparisons. If the entire population of the City and County was included, Honolulu would place 12th on the list above with a 2007 estimated population of 905,601.[5]
  • ^ c: Arlington CDP, Virginia, is coextensive with Arlington County. Virginia law forbids the creation of cities in counties with over 1,000 people per square mile, which Arlington County exceeds. Thus, the entire county is considered by the Census Bureau as one CDP. While not incorporated as a municipality, Arlington is included in the Census Bureau's annual list of incorporated places and is retained in the above list.
  • ^ d: Currently, there are no challenges to the Census' 2008 estimates.
  • ^ g: Miami Gardens, Florida, was not incorporated as a city until 2003, so 2000 census data for it is unavailable. The population density is based on the current 2007 population estimate and a land area of 20 square miles.[10]

Distributions

For cities with populations of 100,000 or more the following distributions hold. Smaller incorporated places are not included.

The mean density is 4,128.21 per mi2. The median is 3,160.85 per mi2.

Population Number of municipal governments[11]
1,000,000+ 9
300,000–1,000,000 51
200,000–299,999 47
100,000–199,999 162
