which means absolutely nothing, especially when you look at the cities' land area - Charlotte's is 309 sq miles compared to San Fran's 47 sq miles.

Where's the list?

Are these the numbers or people are just guessing?

US quickfacts has 2019 population estimates. Boston and Baltimore are declining. These are my 2020 estimates. For Boston I’m taking into account margin of error and I’m assuming it’s stagnant in between 2018 (694k) and 2019 (692k).

That's the way it is with cities with 100s of square miles of land...

Do we have a list of new populations with change from last year?

Not really shocking news to those that live in Phoenix, but according to this article (based on latest Census numbers) Phoenix grew by more humans than any city in the nation .. for the 4th year in a row.

"The U.S. Census Bureau documented the population of Phoenix to have grown by 26,317 in 2019, increasing the total to an estimated 1,680,992."

The metro (about at 5 million) also just moved into the 10th spot ahead of the Boston metro.

I don't know where they obtained this info on the Census site though.

True, however, about 100 miles of that 309 miles is unpopulated land

Yep. You have to understand it's a large boundary, but lots of empty land around Phoenix. The inhabited parts of the city and metro are pretty concentrated.

.. but, that's the usual response. "Sure, but it's a large area".

When looking at urban area density .. Phoenix has a lot more density than people think.

What does this exactly mean? I notice that you say unpopulated; that doesn't mean that it's undeveloped or has an undesignated purpose, or does it?
