- Washington DC, well its the lucky city that isn't in any counties for it to ever even consider consolidation with.
Bergen County is weird, the southern half around Essex/Hudson counties is pretty urban (where I live)- But once you get up by Rockland county things get very affluent and spaced out. It has about 900K people, and the land mass is about 100sqmi less than Dallas. (BC is about 240 square miles)
I'd say it's about average.
Hudson county SHOULD be a city. It'ss only 47square miles and has a larger population than ATL, Baltimore, Buffalo, DC, and more (and they all have a larger land mass than Hudson County)
Miami would huge in land and population. But, it would be a deceiving statistic because most of the county land is undevelopable Everglades and other wetlands. The new Miami on its sliver of developed land would be about 2.5 million people. I have no idea how much of Dade County is actually developable but the total is probably under 400 square miles. The total land area in Miami-Dade is 1946 square miles.
7 of the ten most populated cities would be in the sunbelt.
three from California, two from Texas one from Arizona and one from florida.
The frost belt would have 3. Two in New York Metro and Chicago/Cook.
The north eastern counties are very small so from the top 25 most populated cities, only Brooklyn, Kew Gardens (county seat of Queens), Manhatten, Cambridge, Riverhead and Philly would make it on the list.
The Mid West would have Chicago and Detroit.
The west would have 11.
One in Arizona, one in Washington State, one in Nevada and 8 in California.
The south would have six. Two in Florida and four in Texas.
If Detroit were to consolidate with Wayne County...
1,925,848 people in an area of 614 sq mi.
I would have thought Detroit would be bigger because the metro pop is still large
