(1) Cities which include large, traditional suburban areas within the city limits will have more SFHs with spacious yards for sale than cities where those family suburbs are mostly if not exclusively in separate municipalities.
(2) People in the Southwest, Texas and Florida i.e. regions with very long summers or year-round warm temperatures are more likely to get swimming pools than people in the Northeast, Upper Midwest or Pacific NW i.e. regions with long cold seasons and/or underwhelming warm seasons.
As a kid, I remember flying into Buffalo and being amazed at how many homes looked like they had pools. In Raleigh I think there was one old couple with a pool in my neighborhood, most everyone went to the community pool. My mom said the clay soil made for the maintenance cost to be prohibitive for most people.
How is New York ranked in sixth place? Especially if they're talking city proper. Even if it's metro area, that's still a lot more pools than I would have expected, unless maybe it includes the Hamptons.

Both kinda seem like 'duh' factoids.
Yet, it's ironic that Oklahoma City got up to 110 on Tuesday and has had a bunch of other days with highs over 100 this summer but only has 6 homes with pools for sale. People there probably don't have the money for an in-ground pool. Or maybe the clay soil discourages building in-ground pools.

Queens and Staten Island are LOADED with pools.
Nyc actually has a ton of SFH and gated communities. Manhattan is only a tiny portion of the city.
I personally know more people in nyc with pools than i did in Orlando
