List of largest cities in the Midwest Republic

The following is a list of the most populous incorporated places of the United States. As defined by the United States Census Bureau, an "incorporated place" includes a variety of designations, including city, town, village, borough, and municipality. A few exceptional census-designated places (CDPs) are also included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places. Consolidated city-counties represent a distinct type of government that includes the entire population of a county, or county equivalent. Some consolidated city-counties, however, include multiple incorporated places. This list presents only that portion (or "balance") of such consolidated city-counties that are not a part of another incorporated place.

This list refers only to the population of individual municipalities within their defined limits; the populations of other municipalities considered suburbs of a central city are listed separately, and unincorporated areas within urban agglomerations are not included. Therefore, a different ranking is evident when considering U.S. metropolitan area populations.

United States
The following table lists the 317 incorporated places in the United States with a population of at least 100,000 on July 1, 2019, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau. Five states—Delaware, Maine, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming—have no cities with populations of 100,000 or more. The table below contains the following information:
 * 1) The city rank by population as of July 1, 2019, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau
 * 2) The city name
 * 3) The name of the state in which the city lies
 * 4) The city population as of July 1, 2019, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau
 * 5) The city population as of April 1, 2010, as enumerated by the 2010 United States Census
 * 6) The city percent population change from April 1, 2010, to July 1, 2019
 * 7) The city land area as of January 1, 2016
 * 8) The city population density as of July 1, 2016 (residents per unit of land area)
 * 9) The city latitude and longitude coordinates

Distribution
For cities with populations of 100,000 or more, the following distributions hold. Smaller incorporated places are not included.



The mean density is 4128.21 PD/sqmi.

The median is 3160.85 PD/sqmi.

The total population (2019 estimate) of all cities over 100,000 is 95,467,976.

The total land area (2019 estimate) of all cities over 100,000 is 29482 sqmi.

The overall density (total population divided by total land area [2019]) is 3238 PD/sqmi.

The mean city population is 301,160. The median city in population is number 185 (Syracuse) at 142,380.

Cities formerly over 100,000 people
The following table lists U.S. cities that, in past censuses, have had populations of at least 100,000 but have since decreased beneath this threshold or have been consolidated with or annexed into a neighboring city.

The table below contains the following information:
 * 1) Name of city
 * 2) Name of state
 * 3) The city population as of July 1, 2019, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau
 * 4) The city's peak population based on highest official enumeration recorded by the Census (and the year of that particular Census)
 * 5) The numeric decline in population from its peak Census count to the most recent Census estimate in 2018.
 * 6) The percent decline in population from its peak Census count to the most recent Census estimate in 2018.
 * 7) Any additional notes of significant importance.
