Wow, very nice quiz

Stockton and Harrisburg pretty much means the source is using large, rural "metropolitan areas" instead of legitimate urban areas.

Level 81

Aug 30, 2021

what makes an urban area legitimate?

Level 91

Sep 1, 2021

The United States Census Bureau defines Urbanized Areas, Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas.

Urbanized Areas are just that.

MSAs are rather random areas based strictly on counties, whether the county is 600 square kilometers of surrounding populace or 50,000 square kilometers. It may also contain other Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters (population 5,000 to 49,999) that are geographically remote from the Urbanized Area giving its name to the MSA. It can contain urban population directly part of another Urbanized Area with its own MSA.

These statistics are from the Consolidated Statistical Areas, which are just large market and broadcast areas combining multiple county based MSAs.

The legitimate, official U.S. Census Bureau populations of the Urbanized Areas are:

Stockton: 370,583

Harrisburg: 444,474

Citypopulation.de is infamous for using enormous rural geographic areas to inflate population numbers through laziness, lack of simple, lightning fast research to check source methodology or a desire to puff up numbers.

Level 55

Nov 28, 2021

Do you know of any sources that you’d say are more accurate for global statistics? Genuinely curious

Level 63

Nov 28, 2021

I don't know. citypopulation.de is definitely not the most accurate but it's at least better than other websites. Wikipedia is also decent although their numbers can get a bit inconsistent

Lowest I got were Queretaro (12%), Gwangju (14%), San Luis Potosi (16%), Haikou (16%), and Yogyakarta (19%)

Level 81

Aug 30, 2021

For me it was Chonburi (currently 6%). Probably helped that I was once looking for an apartment there.

Level 81

Aug 30, 2021

... but there are at least 2 Chinese cities below that that I should have gotten.

Level 92

Aug 24, 2021

I simply cannot believe that Rotterdam is so high on this list. The city itself has 625.000 inhabitans. To come 3.250.000 inhabitans in the urban area you have to at least add The Hague and maybe even Amsterdam which are other cities and shouldnt count.

Level 81

Aug 30, 2021

Rotterdam and the Hague are usually grouped together on such lists.

Level 54

Aug 30, 2021

Makes zero sense. Makes even more sense to just take the population of Randstad

Level 81

Aug 31, 2021

It makes perfect sense if you understand the methodology.

Level 54

Aug 30, 2021

This was a really cool challenge! I only got 1/10 cities in like India and China, but I did a really good job on the rest of the world. 313/500. Fun quiz!

Level 48

Where is Pretoria (South Africa) and Sharjah (UAE)?

+12

Level 43

You just answered your own question

Level 63

Sep 26, 2021

Also, I’m surprised about the omission of Odessa. Isn’t it the third-biggest in Ukraine? If it was last updated in 2021, it should probably be here.

Level 63

Oct 26, 2021

According to citypopulation.de, Odessa has a population of about 1.11 million - which would put its rank at #544. Pretoria is included within the Johannesburg urban area, and Sharjah is located in Dubai's urban area.

Can't ge t any where near half of thembut with practice I will get better at it. Thanks so much for quiz

Level 66

The population of the town of Karawang is only around 160,000, but you listed the population of the Regency of Karawang instead, which is over 2m.

Level 63

Dec 27, 2021

I was going by citypopulation.de, but it seems as though you are correct. I will fix this when I update the full quiz in 2023

Level 65

Dec 23, 2021

Yokohama has 3.6 million people. Kyoto has 1.45 million; Kawasaki and Saitama more than 1.2 million inhabitants. Guarulhos in Brazil has 1.4 million inhabitants. Would it be a mistake for them not to be on the list?

Level 43

Oct 1, 2022

The quiz works with the urban areas. Guarulhos, for example, is part of the São Paulo Urban Area, being not eligible for the parameters of the quiz.

Level 79

Apr 17, 2023

Yookohama, Saitama and Kawasaki are all part of the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Kyoto is in the Greater Osaka metropolitan area.

Level 24

I have one suggestion; change one Hyderabad (the Pakistani one) to Hyderabad Sindhi, as that won't be as confusing

Level 54

For Visakhapatnam, can you please add Vizag? It's usually called that for short and is a lot easier to type in.

ahh! only 6 people have taken the quiz since the last reset and one of them has already missed los angeles and mexico city!

I think there is a problem with Hartford unless it has moved to Wisconsin when I wasn't looking...

Level 63

May 26, 2023

Fixed; change is pending approval

Level 88

May 26, 2023

At first I was disappointed that I didn't get all the ones in the United States. But then later I saw that I actually had . . . because the one that I was missing has the same name as the second largest city in Australia :)

Level 79

May 26, 2023

Gaza is a bit misplaced, I kept trying different spellings of Beersheba. Given how densely populated the area is, it probably deserves a fix.

Level 63

May 27, 2023

Fixed! Changes pending approval

Level 73

May 27, 2023

It is not fixed yet.

Level 63

May 27, 2023

It takes some time for the changes to show up; hold tight...

Finally updated.

May 27, 2023

Yes! I had the same issue!

Level 73

May 27, 2023

Gaza is misplaced...

Level 79

May 27, 2023

interesting how 6% get 500 on this quiz; I really wonder how they manage to do that 🤨

I then wonder how in so many easier quizzes less than 5% get full points

Level 91

May 27, 2023

I don't understand the data for Hartford, Wisconsin. I did a little digging and it looks like it's a city of approximately 15,000 that's part of the Milwaukee metro area. Where does the 1,680,000 figure come from -- and shouldn't it be lumped together with Milwaukee?

Level 63

May 27, 2023

Wdym? I fixed this yesterday (Was supposed to be Hartford, Connecticut)

Level 91

May 27, 2023

Seems o.k. now. I started it yesterday and paused it and didn't get back to it until this morning, so I guess it didn't pick up the edit. Thanks.

Level 68

May 27, 2023

Could you please accept "shimkent" along with the already-accepted "shymkent"? I've seen it spelled both ways. Thanks!

Level 63

May 30, 2023

Not a standard JetPunk type in but I’ll add it (in a few days so that I can add multiple suggestions people have made at the same time)

Level 63

May 27, 2023

I got 349/500, Not Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Level 71

May 28, 2023

Is the island of Jeju missing?

Level 63

May 29, 2023

Yes, but seeing as this quiz features no cities on Jeju island, I don't think it really matters. However, the island that the city of Naha is located on (Okinawa Island) is missing from the map. I could draw it out but it would be trivial as it would be too small (the city dot itself would occupy more area than the island on the map) so most people wouldn't notice it.

Level 75

May 28, 2023

Once again I am amazed by how terrible citypopulation is with Chinese cities. Others have spoken about their incredibly suspicious inclusion of Shenzhen within the Guangzhou urban area, but take other examples like the extremely implausible Jiangyin over neighboring-and-substantially-more-populous Changzhou. Like I get that it's difficult and there aren't always clear answers but what possible criteria make that make sense?

Level 77

May 30, 2023

Would you please accept Santiago de Querétaro for Queretaro beacause it's actually the official name of the city? ;-)

Level 63

May 30, 2023

That’s not a standard JetPunk type in, like some of the ones people have suggested above. But I’ll add it (in a few days so that I can add multiple suggestions people have made at the same time)

Level 68

Jun 5, 2023

McAllen, really?

Level 67

Jun 13, 2023

The average score being 243 seems insane to me! I did just under average and I spend a lot of time here, guess I've got some practising to do!

Level 56

Apr 4, 2024

I think on big quizzes like this, some people cheat by looking up lists of largest cities.

Level 25

Dec 26, 2024

Also, I think most people who even attempt quizzes this hard are geography nerds, lol

Level 16

Jun 13, 2023

Where's Tegucigalpa man?

Level 75

Jun 14, 2023

Level 63

Jun 14, 2023

Tegucigalpa was extremely close to making the list - ranks #505

Level 45

Jun 14, 2023

Ghangzhou is nowhere near 60 million people. No site or source that I've seen would suggest that it has more than 16 million

Level 47

Jun 14, 2023

Where are these numbers coming from? No way the Salt Lake City urban area has 2.6 million when the entire state of Utah has 3.2 million.

How is Harrisburg, PA on this list but not Memphis or New Orleans?

Level 30

Jun 15, 2023

329/500 :)

Level 58

Jun 19, 2023

This quiz is so wrong! In Poland it should be Cracow (Kraków) and Warsaw. They have been the biggest cities for centuries... tho. Dont know how could you make mistake like that. Also data for "Katowice" is still wrong

Level 63

Jun 19, 2023

check the source

Level 32

Jul 11, 2023

Data from this website always seems a little fishy! Regardless this was a really cool quiz, I got 346, I got Cangnan at 2%, but somehow I missed DELHI...

Knowing lots of Chinese cities helped, must have got about 75 from there alone which made up for my terrible performance in the US and South America lol!

Level 39

Aug 9, 2023

I'm half Chinese and I live in USA and sorry but I just don't see how NYC has a higher population than Beijing

Level 56

Apr 4, 2024

I think the suburbs and surrounding cities of New York spread out over a very large area and have slightly more people, even though they are more sparsely populated than Beijing. But I am not American or Chinese so idk

Finally got it all in somewhere between 5 to 10 tries... I had got like around 350 on my first try

Level 63

Aug 5, 2024

What about Quezon City??

Level 74

Nov 2, 2024

Damn, each quiz about cities has different population data so you can never learn all the biggest cities because different cities are the biggest according to different quizes. :D

Level 63

Nov 24, 2024

most of these kinds of quizzes use the same source (citypopulation.de). i updated this data in may 2023 so maybe that's why it might be different from other people's quizzes (i'll update again in may 2025)
