List of United States cities by population

← Version précédente | Version suivante →
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 city, town, village, and borough. These designations and their usages can vary greatly from state to state. Most of the largest incorporated places in the United States are incorporated as cities by their states. Consolidated city-counties represent a distinct type of government in that other incorporated places exist within the consolidated city-county. This list presents only that portion (or "balance") of the consolidated city-counties that are not a part of another incorporated place.
Note that this list refers only to the population of individual municipalities and defined city limits and does not count the rest of their respective suburban or urban agglomerations. Some American cities, like those in many other parts of the world, cover large geographical areas. Because of this, the city's population may be large in overall numbers but their metropolitan area or urban area may be much smaller, giving the city less social or economic status than their ranking may suggest. For example, Jacksonville, Florida has a population greater than both Boston and Washington. But Boston and Washington are surrounded by many more suburbs which make their metropolitan area populations much greater than Jacksonville's. Because the metropolitan population is much greater in those cities, there is more dense settlement which leads to more cultural institutions, greater transportation options, and more entertainment attractions. Although Jacksonville appears higher on the list of largest cities, a bigger city feel will actually be felt in Boston or Washington, DC than in Jacksonville. This is why many definitions (and people's perceptions) of cities include the entire metropolitan region.

This list does not include the following cities and towns in Puerto Rico: San Juan (434,374), Bayamon (224,044), Ponce, Puerto Rico (186,475), Carolina, Puerto Rico (186,076 as of 2000), Caguas (140,502), Arecibo (100,131 as of 2000), Guaynabo (100,053 as of 2000), and Mayaguez (98,434 as of 2005). This is because San Juan, Puerto Rico and the other municipalities mentioned, while located in a U.S. Territory, are not part of the United States as defined by the Constitution and the U.S. Census Bureau (e.g., no state can secede, but Puerto Rico has the right to vote for independence). The official list from the Census Bureau only includes cities from the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
