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. Some
census-designated places may also be
included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places.
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 of more than 100,000 as estimated by the
United States Census
Bureau for July 1, 2008.
Population
densities are also given by the U.S. Census Bureau, but are
listed as of the
2000 U.S.
Census.
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 Bureauon
July 1, 2007, and the rankings they would have if included in the
above table.
