Largest U.S. Cities and Metro Areas

Seven of the country's ten largest cities in 2010 were located in the Sun Belt region of the south and west, all of which have far lower population density than their earlier top-ranking counterparts. A different ranking is evident when considering U.S. metro area populations [see further below] which count both city and suburban populations.
