The majority of the top 20 cities have insane boundaries. I'm using Charlotte as an example because I'm familiar with the city so please don't think I'm trying to start trouble. Anyway, the city has annexed it's way to roughly 300 square miles. Minneapolis would have to annex St. Paul and 25 of their inner-ring suburbs to reach that size. It's population as of the latest census estimates would be 1,222,719.
I know it's so lopsided, it's not even really fair. Boston would have about 2.5 million people if it annexed the inner 300 square miles.
*I didn't realize that Cleveland and Miami have virtually the same population.
*Toledo is larger than Pittsburgh
*Rockford, Illinois is now larger than Dayton, Ohio (although the Dayton Metro is significantly larger)
I find it amusing that Memphis has a larger population than Boston (city propers)
Memphis has an annexing problem. It annexes the surrounding areas, the areas where people moved to get away from the city. It's a big city in land area, but the density is not that high. It's not the worst though, Nashville & Jacksonville are worse. And the Memphis metro isn't too sprawly because almost the entire population lives in the main county.
