Thought I'd compile an updated "most skyscrapers over 300 feet" list, for the US cities in the south east and south central regions, as of late February 2021.
These are for topped out/completed skyscrapers, as of late February, for cities that have at least 3.
The "~" symbol for Miami, Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas indicate approximate, since Wikipedia stops listing skyscrapers in these cities after a certain height between 3-400 feet, due to large numbers.
(All numbers are from Wikipedia, so omissions are probable, as are some potential for errors)
6 Charlotte 32
7 Nashville 26
8 New Orleans 26
9 Tampa 14
10 Louisville 14
11 Fort Lauderdale 12
12 Fort Worth 11
13 Oklahoma City 11
14 Tulsa 11
15 San Antonio 10
16 Richmond 10
17 Jacksonville 9
18 Arlington, VA 8
19 Tysons Corner, VA 8
20 Orlando 8
21 Memphis 8
22 Birmingham 6
23 Little Rock 6
24 Winston Salem 5
25 Mobile 5
26 Raleigh 3
27 Galveston 3
28 Columbia 3
29 Lexington 3
30 Corpus Christi 3
Takeaways:
Miami, Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas are in a much different league than the other cities.
Austin, Charlotte, Nashville and New Orleans all have a good amount of skyscrapers and have good densities forming in some areas of their downtowns/midtowns.
Austin is just exploding with construction and should be close to 50 completed skyscrapers by 2025. Charlotte and Nashville are not too far behind, and booming on their own--each city with 6-8 skyscrapers under construction now and 10-20 in planning stages.
In the next league down, Tampa has a couple under construction, and several in the planning stages, so I suspect Tampa to break out and have about 20 finished by 2025.
Raleigh may actually be the sleeper on this lower segment of cities, with 1 skyscraper under construction now and several planned and approved. Raleigh may actually have as many as 15 completed by 2030, or more.

Reason: Added Ft Lauderdale

There are simply larger, much larger than other metros in the regions noted.
Skyscrapers per million people would be an interesting thing to look at, but even there, larger metros benefit from compounding gains (becoming talent centers, regional centers etc).
Ah, yeah, actually that's true.....Florida has more and more.
