List of United States cities by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 19994best (talk | contribs) at 03:33, 25 January 2012 (→Incorporated places over 100,000 population). 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.[a] Some census-designated places may also be included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places.[b][c] 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.

Incorporated places over 100,000 population

The following table lists the incorporated places in the United States with a population on April 1, 2010, of more than 100,000 as counted in the 2010 United States Census.[1] Land area and population density are also provided to the nearest tenth to give a general idea of how densely packed each city is. 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. Capital cities are bolded.

Notes

  1. ^
    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 are not included in its list of incorporated places. A detailed discussion on this subject can be found at New England town#Census treatment of the New England town system.

    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 were included, Honolulu would place 10th on the list above with a 2010 estimated population of 953,207.[3]
  3. ^ a b
    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.
  4. ^ a b
    Baltimore and St. Louis are independent cities that are not a part of any particular county.

    Cities in Virginia, except for Arlington, are all independent cities that are not a part of any particular county.
