I was kind of amazed to discover that Austin is bigger than Atlanta and Boston.

By city proper population, yes. By metro area population, Austin is smaller than Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Denver, and Sacramento.

Level 35

Not really surprising. Austin is a fast growing city. It'll clear the 1 million mark for the 2020 census, I'm sure.

Level 27

Apr 30, 2021

Austin is still the 28th most populous metropolitan area in the nation, so it’s still big.

Level ∞

Still not yet 1 million. The gigantic rise in prices is becoming an impediment to growth.

This is incorrect- I am from Texas and I can confirm that no state has or will ever beat Texas in anything. XD

Everyone knows that West Virginia produces a lot of coal

Level 56

Apr 22, 2025

not as much as in the past. Coal production in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia have drastically reduced over the last 25 years. Pennsylvania coal mines have slightly increased over the years.

Albuquerque (New Mexico) comes before Austin alphabetically

Level 71

New Mexico's capital is Santa Fe, not Albuquerque.
