List of populated cities in US

Of these cities, California and Texas account for 60%, with each being home to three cities each that have a population of over 1 million.

Half of the top ten cities with the largest population gains were located in Texas, although the city that gained the most new residents throughout 2013 and 2014 was New York City, which is also the most populous city in the country.

Foreign immigration is also expected to contribute to future growth of cities of all sizes, including the largest cities in the country.

The largest city in the US is New York City, with over 8.5 million residents.

Fort Worth also had the highest growth rate of the cities in Texas at 2.34%. Irvine, California grew faster than any other US city, at a rate of 3.87%, while St. Louis, Missouri had the lowest growth rate at -1.11%. Tulsa, Oklahoma is the only city to have a growth rate of -0.00%. While the population of the major cities is always growing, a number of cities not associated with any major urban areas have also grown, such as Henderson, Nevada, Scottsdale, Arizona, and Durham, North Carolina.

Some people prefer smaller, less crowded cities with open spaces, while others would rather have the hustle and bustle of big city life.

Not surprisingly, cities with the highest population density include New York City at 11,000/km2, San Francisco at 7,242/km², Jersey City at 6,901/km², and Boston at 5,434/km².
