Cities with suburbs with a population of 100,000+ (live, land)

[rnc2mbfl]

I think it could be more interesting to hear about the cities that don't have any suburbs over 100,000.

But, back to the original topic, Raleigh has one suburb over 100K: Cary at ~140,000. It's the exception and is North Carolina's largest suburb. Unless one actually considers High Point a suburb of Greensboro, Cary is the only suburb in the state that exceeds 100K.

PA a state of ~ 12 million has only two cities/towns over 100K - maybe the outlier here among states

You forgot Denton with 115,810 and Irving at 218,850. Also, you forgot the biggest suburb of them all in Fort Worth. So Dallas has 12 total.

Broken Arrow at exactly 100,000

I will do NYC area.

1) Newark - 277,140
2) Jersey City - 247,597
3) Yonkers - 195,976
4) Paterson - 146,199
5) Bridgeport - 144,229
6) New Haven 129,779
7) Stamford - 122,643

8) Edison - 99,967
9) Woodbridge Township - 99,265

# 8 and 9 barely missed the cut by a few hundred people so I just included them anyways.

From highest population to lowest, there's Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria and Surprise. If the valley ever experienced heavy growth again, then Avondale is the closest to be the next city to crack 100K in population.

I counted 36 total for the LA CSA

I'd imagine this would be the "winner" of the thread.

[MS313]

Detroit

MSA: Sterling Heights, Warren
CSA: Ann Arbor, Flint
Windsor if including Canada

Quite a few are just under 100,000

surprisingly Atlanta doesn't have any.

Los Angeles has a TON
Long Beach
Anaheim
Santa Ana
Irvine
Glendale
Huntington Beach
Santa Clarita
Garden Grove
Lancaster
Palmdale
Pomona
Torrance
Orange
Pasadena
Fullerton
El Monte

It's interesting that as densely populated as New Jersey is, and bordering New York City and Philadelphia, that only a few places in the entire state have populations over 100K.
