I know this is a super unoriginal/bland idea for a quiz but I made this quiz 4 years ago and just updated it with new data.

Good quiz, you chose a nice shade of complimentary grey for the states without qualifying cities. It makes the map look really clean. #DDDDDD? Anyways, I enjoyed taking this and only missed Stockton and Melbourne.

Harrisburg, PA only has about 50,00 inhabitants. It does not have 1,340,000!

I know its from the source and not you, but these estimates are getting out of hand. Over a million for Melbourne, FL??? Stockton? Hartford? I feel like people are being counted twice for these places in other metro areas such as NYC for Hartford.

After doing some research, the highest estimate for Melbourne, Fl I could come up with if you include everything on the coast from Mims all the way down to Malabar, which is over 50 miles, is 650,000.
