Biggest City in Each U.S. State

what about adding a map?

Memphis is the most populated city in Tennessee. Nashville isn't.

They're pretty close and it seems Nashville is now above Memphis.

The real extreme version is the one with the top 10 for all 50 states, but the accuracy seems to fall apart for much smaller states like Vermont and Rhode Island.

Challenge Accepted!

Maybe we can do it in comments?

Non-native, 47 on first take (but I've done a lot of US quizzes before)

By city proper population, yes

what people don't realize is Jacksonville is the biggest city in the country by area, so if the quiz is doing city proper, Jacksonville gets a huge advantage.

If you combine Cleveland's metro area with Akron's metro area it is still way larger than Columbus's metro area. Cleveland and Akron should be the same metro area since the only thing dividing the two is a county line.

There are two! Right next to each other. KC, MO is bigger than KC, KS

It's on the border. There is a Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. By city proper the one in Missouri is roughly twice the size. By metro area its a lot more closely divided.

How so? It's the only one I missed on the first try...kept rotating Stamford, New Haven, and Hartford around in my head.

Easy for me probably only because my cousin works there.

Charleston just over took Columbia in South Carolina, so I can't see that one changing soon.

Not anymore, though Nashville is only ahead by a slight margin.

hey what do you know... now this is the correct answer.

You are definitely correct.

Same with Boston. There are several different 'cities" that aren't included in the population even though they are really just Boston neighborhoods...Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville. I lived in Brookline when I was younger and didn't even know it was its own city rather than just a neighborhood of Boston. The T runs through it (on three different lines!). Northeastern is five minutes away by car. It's fifteen minutes to downtown with no traffic. I appreciate that there are vital distinctions relating to government, taxes, etc., but in terms of experience, you could walk from Brookline through to Boston to Cambridge and have no idea you had been in three different cities.

Jacksonville is only bigger because it's enormous. I think the city and county are coterminous. It just goes on forever. The metro areas for Miami, Orlando, and Tampa are all comfortably bigger, but their official city limits are much smaller than Jacksonville's. I don't think it's the same situation in Ohio. I think Cleveland and Cincinnati were much bigger about fifty years ago (which is why they are more famous and have all the sports teams), but they have been steadily losing population. Columbus's population has exploded in the past few decades.

I only got Bridgeport because my sister went to school there. Otherwise I would have never had a chance. Got the other 49 without much trouble.

Because nobody calls is Oklahoma... OKC is accepted though.

Yea Huntsville is the only growing big city in Alabama, the other 3 (Birmingham, Montgomery, & Mobile) are shrinking. All 4 cities are within a 30,000 people margin.

well your thought has been realized
