Well its an attempt to standardize across a massive system where individual countries have drastically different definitions. Denmark defines a city as any town over 200 people. Japan, 50K. China, 100K. Trying to find a blended rate that works across that sample isn't going to be please all the people all the time.
All the cities you mention are right at the density cut off (1500 people/sq km) so it seems "directionally accurate" to this reader.
The Census Bureau uses the 50K cut off as well with some other qualitative aspects sprinkled in.
i agree, and most of those cities are relatively suburban ones, so it's not a shock they'd be on the edge of that particular cutoff. And I've seen people on this board suggest Raleigh isn't, or at least wasn't until recently, a real city because it's so suburban.
Only about half of the U.S.’s 25 most populous cities meet the density criterion. Some are close, but plenty are not. Meanwhile, semi-dense suburbs of much larger cities qualify as cities on their own.
Referring to Cary as "beige" seems out of date now....soooo 2007
This is 2022...."agreeable grey" is more appropriate.
Yeah, but at least beige new who it was. Agreeable Grey tryin to please everyone with it's middle of the road not quite grey still sort of beige greigeness. Ultimate identity crisis color.
I noticed that Cary has started re-doing all their branding, and the "town of" is no longer there. Just pure speculation, but is it possible they're trying to drop the "town" designation?
I just wanna know what was wrong with the classic green dogwood flower leaf town logo? It was classy and elegant. Now the new "CARY" word logo is un-original and what's with the red star in the letter "A"....red star is the sign of communism. Gimme a break. This is 'Merica. We use white stars, not red.
