I know it's the population of the metro area that really counts, but according to //www.city-data.com/city/South-Carolina.html Greenville is smaller than Dutch Forks. I did not even know that was a town. Rock Hill is also listed as bigger, but I just moved from York County. Its a rice area, but I can't see the population being near Greenville.
Also has Five Forks always been it own town ? I know its a fast growing area, but I've near heard it called a town before.
Greenville's daytime city population is approximately 200,000, which provides a more accurate representation of its true size. The population in Greenville County alone is approximately 450,000.
Five Forks is an unincorporated suburban area near Simpsonville and Mauldin.
I'm surprised city-data lists Dutch Fork as a "bigger city" on that list. It is neither a city nor a town. It's just an area of Richland and Lexington counties. Much of what would be considered the Dutch Fork area would have an Irmo address.

And I found out the other night there are some winding and hilly country roads in the Dutch Fork area. It's very bucolic. It's not a town or city, but does a suburb have to be to know how many people live in it?
Dutch Fork is 83.5 square miles of low density. The same number would put Greenville at 192k+ based on density. Big difference. Dutch Fork has less density than Simpsonville, which is a Greenville suburb.
Interesting that I've never heard of a place that's supposedly bigger than the 4th-largest city in the state... And not only is Dutch Fork not a city/town, but it's not even a CDP (Census Designated Place) like Taylors is, for example: Populations of South Carolina (SC) Cities - ranked by Population Size
There is a Dutch Fork HS. Maybe they are listing the school district as a "town"
As has been said many times here, SC annexation laws create a false impression of the size of the cities. Under NC laws, for example, Greenville would likely have a population in the 200,000 -250,000 range and Columbia might be over 300,000.
