The reason Philadelphia doesn't have many is because of it's borough/township/city designations that have divided up all the land into small incorporated communities. I think it's a good thing IMO, as there is a lot of variation in town character throughout the Philadelphia suburbs. Despite high density, none of the communities are large enough in land area to make 100,000 people.

Apparently I can't give you a rep, but I'd rep this if I could.

Municipalities out east tend to be a out smaller than they are out west because of the township system (in the Midwest), and the borough system (in the Northeast) that had size limits.

Crazy growth.

Frisco in 1990 had a population of 6,138 people. In 2000, the population was 33,714. Now it's at 145,000?
McKinney had 54,000 people in 2000. Now have 156,000.

Exactly, and counties are much smaller in the eastern half of the country, too. Here in the Twin Cities, which is a metro of only 3.5 million, we have over 300 separate municipalities making up the suburban area, whereas somewhere like Phoenix, with 4.5 million, has merely 20 or so separate municipalities total within their metro. Kind of mind-boggling that individual suburbs down there can cover such an enormous land area.

In Houston we have lots of unincorporated areas that may have certain addresses but are not actually serviced by that area. For example the Katy Area has 300,000+ people but the city of Katy has 15,000 people. Katy ISD services the area, and more than 300,000 have Katy Addresses. It is kind of like each small town has it's own hinterland. Like Sugar Land has something like 90,000-100,000 people but add in the area with SL addresses and that number is up near 200,000 people, Missouri City goes from 70k to around 100k or maybe even more. Their is also Cypress which would go from 0 a it is not an incorporated city to somewhere around 200,000-400,000 people. Like It says I live in Katy, TX but technically I live in Unincorporated Fort Bend County. Some other towns such as Klein, Spring, and possibly The Woodlands would reach 100k in quick numbers, unlike the suburbs on the eastern part of Houston a lot of inhabited unincorporated land is in Harris County, Fort Bend County and Montgomery county, example 1.6 million live in unincorporated Harris County which incorporated would fall into about 10 or so suburbs with possibly over 100,000 plus people. Houston would basically look like Dallas with large suburbs or Los Angeles. I think Atlanta might be slightly similar in the regard of having millions in of unincorporated suburban areas.

New York State has a city-town-village-hamlet system. So NYC suburbs of NYS are mostly just gigantic towns or villages (town of Hempstead is 760,000 people), but they are not cities. While all places out West, if they are incorporated, they are always a city, in New York State there are many incorporated villages for example.

I think the NYC suburbs are like Houston also on one side as all the Gigantic Towns seem to be on Long Island. Houston all the Gigantic suburbs (land wise), that are unincorporated are mostly on the west side or immediate North or South of the city only 2-3 sizable burbs out east are Baytown, Pasadena and League City unless of course you consider Atascocita or Spring to be eastern suburbs.
