U.S. City Populations: Where would you go?

whatjr:

I was keeping myself occupied this morning with researching the populations of U.S. cities. For some odd reason, I’ve always had a fascination for these type of statistics and what better place to start then the U.S. Census Bureau.

A future post will be on some specific ratios that I have in mind to find the real truth behind these populations numbers (i.e., male:female, ages 25:40, college degrees, avg. income, singles, diversity, etc.) haha. :)

Listed below are most of my favorite cities:
