Does BiggestUSCities.com's List Cover Cities Across All US States?

Updated

Yes—the list is a nationwide ranking of US cities by population, not a single-state or regional list. The page presents the top 100 cities across the country, and the entries span many states: Texas (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso), California (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, Anaheim, Stockton, Riverside, Irvine, Santa Ana), Florida (Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando), and others including Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, Washington, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Hawaii. Coverage is national in scope, but the page itself is limited to the top 100—a city outside that cutoff won't appear in this table.

What the ranking actually covers

The page is titled "Top 100 Biggest US Cities By Population" and uses 2024 estimated population figures. Each row gives a rank, city and state, 2024 population estimate, and an annual growth rate. Because the ranking is by population, the list is dominated by large metros, but it is not filtered by state, region, or climate—any US city large enough to reach the top 100 is eligible.

A practical consequence: the list tells you where a city ranks nationally, not how it compares within its state. If you want to know whether a city is the largest in Texas or California, you have to compare the state's entries yourself.

How to check whether your city or state is included

  1. Scan the City column for your city name; entries are formatted as "City, ST" (e.g., "Austin, TX").
  2. If you know the state but not the exact rank, scan the two-letter state abbreviation in each row—Texas and California entries are clustered near the top, while states with smaller cities appear lower.
  3. Read the rank number to see the national position, and the 2024 population estimate to see the size.
  4. If your city does not appear anywhere in the table, it is outside the top 100 and is not covered on this page.

Limits to keep in mind

  • Top 100 only. The page does not list every US city, so absence from the table means "not in the top 100," not "not a city."
  • City proper, not metro. The figures are for the city itself, so a large suburb or a metro area's total population is not what's being ranked.
  • Estimates, not counts. The 2024 figures are labeled as estimates, and the growth rate column reflects annual change—useful for spotting fast-growing cities like Fort Worth (2.0%) or Henderson (1.9%), but not a substitute for official census counts.
  • No state-level totals. The page ranks cities, so it won't tell you a state's total population or how many of its cities made the list without you counting the rows.

If your goal is to confirm coverage, the fastest check is a name or state-abbreviation scan of the table; if your city isn't there, look for a broader city population dataset rather than assuming the site covers all municipalities.
