I have made several template and formatting changes to try and reduce the size of the tables. This helps readability, particularly on small screens.
But there are still a lot of columns, some of which don't need to be there. The "Location" column must be scarcely used, and even if someone wants the location, they have the link to that city right there. The lats and longs, collected together in a column, don't provide much comparison value.
The other is the two "Area" columns. This is a list by population, not area. The area doesn't need to be listed in order for the density to be shown. And there's already a US city area list. Wizmut ( talk) 12:20, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
The table shows the population fell by 0.84% when it actually grew by 0.84% Unhalfbricker ( talk) 18:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

The numbers in the leftmost column of the table should be pegged to the corresponding cities because they represent the cities' rankings by population, but that column gets out of synch with the cities if a user sorts the columns in some other way. For example, if I sort the table by state, I'd want 1 to remain with New York, 2 to remain with Los Angeles, and so on, but instead Anchorage becomes 1 and Huntsville becomes 2 because the leftmost column doesn't reorder. Is there a way to change this? RCTodd ( talk) 16:31, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
