What tiers or subcategories do you think US cities could be placed in?

For me, this is how I would categorize US cities:

Tier 1 (World Class Cities):
Boston
Chicago
Los Angeles
New York
San Francisco
Washington

Tier 2 (Global Powers):
Atlanta
Dallas
Detroit
Houston
Miami
Minneapolis
Philadelphia
Seattle

Tier 3 (National Powers):
Charlotte
Cincinnati
Cleveland
Denver
Orlando
Phoenix
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
San Diego
Tampa

Tier 4 (Regional Powerhouses):
Austin
Columbus
Honolulu
Indianapolis
Kansas City
Las Vegas
Milwaukee
Nashville
New Orleans
Portland
Raleigh
Sacramento
San Antonio
Salt Lake City
Virginia Beach

Tier 5: The Rest

What are your thoughts?

You forgot Baltimore, Fort Worth, San Jose, and Oakland.

I'm pretty sure they'd be in the 2nd or 3rd tiers.

Boston s/b in tier 2, Miami - tier 3...would add Louisville, Jacksonville, OK City, San Jose, Oakland & Birmingham into Tier 4, not sure Va. Beach should be on the list at all, probably s/b Richmond instead. Baltimore added to Tier 3, would move Indianapolis up to tier 3

I would say on this one, it is safe to defer to the experts, in a thread that already exists.

While I definitely agree, I'm still trying to understand the Ranally system and get access to their data. I think their list needs to be updated.
