None of these cities is Country...They are suburban style cities with pockets of classic style urbanism. Except for D.C. And Bmore which are extremely urban
Los Angeles doesnt belong on a thread asking about whose the most 'country'.
Nope. LA is anything but. Its all big city for as far as the eye can see.
Agree from a metro standpoint it is probably the most continuously non country of all in the US. Even the NYC metro has somewhat country feeling areas within say 15 miles of Manhattan and even more of these type areas if you get out further. One thing LA is not is country feeling by any stretch - to me there is no metro as continuously developed including NYC (please note i am not arguing the core of NYC is not the urban because hands down it is the largest most urban core in the US by a long stretch) but agree with Montclair that LA while maybe the traditional urban is most definately not country by any means...

Furthermore, it you look at the average density throughout the entire urban areas of each as of 2000, they look more like this:
Los Angeles - 7068.3
New Orleans - 5101.6
Phoenix - 3638.3
D.C. - 3400.8
Detroit - 3094.4
Baltimore - 3041.3
Houston - 2951.1
Dallas - 2946.4
Cleveland - 2761.4
Orlando - 2554.0
Indianapolis - 2204.5
Jacksonville - 2149.2
Pittsburgh - 2056.7
Richmond - 1874.8
Atlanta - 1783.3
Charlotte - 1745.0
Again none of these cities is country. You must have used metro stats.... Both Atlanta and charlotte ha ve densities of at least 2500ppsm in their city limits...

I don't know what you are talking about. I never said these cities were country. All I did was list the average densities of these urban areas as of 2000 (that means 2000, not 2011). Naturally, there would have been changes...

If you are not familiar with what an urban area is, please look at the link that I posted. Here it is again: List of United States urban areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry for the miscommunication iwas referring to the op who used the term country. He also never clarified whether or not he was referring to the cities, metro, csa, or urban area..i was referring to the densities within the city limits not the urban areas
