Fresno is nowhere near as big as Sacramento in any way that matters here.
So directly on the same border with the City of Sacramento, to the west, you have the
City of West Sacramento, they are contiguous. Their shared border is the Sacramento River.
To the east of the City of Sacramento and contiguous with it, you have several census-designated neighborhoods all with Sacramento addresses and zip codes, anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 population.
Add the two populations of the two Sacramento's, and presto, Sacramento has a bigger population than FresNO.
City of Sacramento: 520,000
City of West Sacramento: 54,000
Total: 574,000
..and if you add in the other
Sacramento addresses and zip codes: 150,000
Total: 724,000
True, but some folks don't like to look at the Metro, they go by city numbers only, so I wanted point out that there is the city of West Sacramento that is contiguous with the city of Sacramento.

The info is useful, so thanks for that.
But city comparisons are best be more parallel measures. Municipalities have little to do with how the place functions or what people experience on the ground.

The granddaddy of them all: McAllen, TX. Almost a million population in its urban area yet you NEVER hear of that area, ever, in anything. It’s as if it doesn’t exist. It should be Texas’ #6 urban area. Yet many would place Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Amarillo, Waco, even Beaumont, Galveston, Laredo, or Abilene ahead of McAllen.
Not an official city but we never talk about Staten Island.
Near 500,000 people and nothing
