Top 100 US Cities by Population

Figures are the US Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 population estimates for July 1, 2024, from the table Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Incorporated Places of 20,000 or More, Ranked by July 1, 2024 Population (SUB-IP-EST2024-ANNRNK, released May 2025). The ranks are the Census Bureau's own. A city here means the area inside its city limits, not its metro area, which is why Atlanta and Miami rank lower than their metro areas would.

Indianapolis, Nashville and Louisville are counted as the "balance" of their consolidated city and county governments, which leaves out the separately incorporated towns inside them. Honolulu is the Urban Honolulu census designated place, since Hawaii has no incorporated cities. Lexington is counted as the Lexington-Fayette urban county and Anchorage as a municipality. Washington is the District of Columbia, which is not part of any state.
