List of North American cities by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the majority of cities in North America, the most recent official population census results, estimates or short-term projections date to 2020, with some dating 2022 at the latest. This list compiles figures for all North American cities with a population within city limits exceeding 500,000 that year. These figures do not reflect the population of the urban agglomeration or metropolitan area, which typically does not coincide with the administrative boundaries of the city. They refer to mid-2020 populations with the following exceptions:

  1. Mexican cities, whose figures derive from the 2015 Intercensal Survey conducted by INEGI with a reference date of March 15, 2020;[1]
  2. Edmonton, which conducted municipal censuses in April 2019 and April 2021 but has not reported an intercensal estimate of its 2020 population. The April 2021 census result is given instead.
