Population of U.S. Cities and Metropolitan Areas
Table below shows the 169 leading cities of the United States ranked according to popula-
tion within their standard metropolitan areas.
The standard metropolitan area of a city includes, besides the population within its cor-
porate limits, the suburban population extending outward until a certain thinness of density
is reached, according to a formula used by the Bureau of the Census. While the population
within the corporate limits of cities has generally been used as indicating a city's population,
the population of the metropolitan area comes nearer measuring a city's importance. In the
table below the first column shows entire metropolitan area population, including corporate
area plus suburbs. The second column shows population within city limits. The third column,
showing percentage of increase, applies only to entire metropolitan area population.Metropolitan
