Combine Dallas & Houston together and you will have your "Chicago".

I know that the database isn't correct because my condo building is missing and it's clearly tall enough to be on Florida's list.

If Houston had a few more super talls it could compete with Chicago.

Albany has some tall buildings as well. I'd def. say NY is #1.

This wikipdia page lists NYC has having 6504 high rises (SkyscraperPage lists 5866).
2nd US city is Chicago with 1125 high rises (SkyscraperPage lists 1140).

Even without any other cities, New York State should win this by a large margin.
