The Largest US Cities

 * 29 May 2013: The US has nine cities with populations topping one million. New York City, with more than eight million residents, is by far the largest US city. Los Angeles, in second place, has a population of just below four million people. Both Chicago and Houston have populations of more than two million. Other cities with more than one million citizens include Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Diego. San Antonio has leapfrogged Dallas to become the eighth-largest US city. These are some of the results of the 2012 survey by the US Census Bureau.  Based on the 2012 survey by the US Census Bureau, City Mayors found that the largest US cities grew strongly between 2000 and 2012. In 2012, almost 78 million Americans lived in the country’s 200 largest cities compared to 71 million twelve years earlier. Since the 2010 national census, the population in America’s largest 200 cities has increased from 75.9 million to 77.7 million. But the proportion of Americans living in them has dropped slightly from 24.8 per cent in 2003 to 24.6 per cent today. During the past ten years, the US population rose from 293.6 million to 315.9 million.
