What are the 10 largest cities in the United States by Population in 2008?
In terms of metropolitan areas (US census estimates, 2006): 1. New York 2. Los Angeles 3. Chicago 4. Dallas-Fort Worth 5. Philadelphia 6. Houston 7. Miami-Fort Lauderdale 8. Washington, DC 9. Atlanta 10. Detroit Another way to look at them: combined metro areas, so San Francisco, Oakland & San Jose are counted together, for example. This measure best matches what I think of as the largest cities in the US.
