If you combine the following neighboring communities of north Miami-Dade/south Broward -- Sunny Isles, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Bal Harbor, Hallandale Beach and Hollywood with an aggregate population of only 300,000 as of 2019 (less than Miami proper) -- you'll get 103 towers of 300ft+, which would place it either 4 or 5 on this list.
Below are the top 25 US Cities with a rough snapshot of the most skyscrapers over 300 feet high, as of July 2021.
The numbers as they get higher, are estimates. I pulled the info from Wikipedia, Emporis and Skyscraper Page, as well as SkyscraperCity.
The numbers could be a bit off, but it's a good snapshot of where the rankings lie for each city.
The fascinating thing to watch here, are the high-growth sunbelt cities starting to catch up and pass, some of the traditional rust belt cities.
Also, COVID-19 really scaled back the number of "under construction" in most cities. But things are starting to ramp up again, as the recovery happens and economic conditions improve.

I'll speak from the development world...municipal population means almost NOTHING. Jersey City is a secondary downtown for the entire NYC region.

Maybe it seems like that now, but until very recently, Jersey City didn’t have much of a skyline. Growing up on the other side of the Hudson, JC was never that noticeable. I can tell you that now NYers actually notice it — and that’s something new. It seems for many of us that we went to the West side one day recently and happened to look across the river and became surprised at how large JC has grown. Like it has matured into it’s own city in a way. You can even see the JC skyline from many parts of Brooklyn these days too…
But I think you’re right. It’s probably more accurate to say that JC was punching below it’s weight until recently.
But honestly even looking at Manhattan’s skyline 10 years ago it looks so much smaller than it does today. A lot of cities have grown incredibly in the last decade.
IMO Miami has had the most impressive relative transformation
I'm not saying it was punching below its weight either.
Recent trends in Manhattan and the region provided the impetus for big secondary cores, and they've been rising in JC, Brooklyn, LIC, etc. They've gone where the land, zoning, transit, entitlements, etc., have been attractive to users and developers.
Those factors weren't all in place in 2005. They fell into place, so centers have risen.
These dynamics are about the region, not little chunks of it, other than an "enabling" role that's better in some areas than others.
Proper. Minneapolis has 40+ and St. Paul has ~15. Not sure about the suburbs.
