This 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] A few exceptional
census-designated places (CDPs) are also included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places.[b]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.
The total 2020 enumerated population of all cities over 100,000 is 96,598,047, representing 29.14% of the United States population (excluding territories) and covering a total land area of 29,588 square miles (76,630 km2). The mean city population is 301,765, and the mean density is 4,151 inhabitants per square mile (1,603/km2).
The following table lists the five
municipalities (municipios) of
Puerto Rico with a population greater than 100,000 on July 1, 2020, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau.
The table below contains the following information:

The following table lists U.S.
census-designated places (CDPs) with populations of at least 100,000 according to the 2020 Census. A CDP is a
concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of
incorporated places such as
cities,
towns and
villages. CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places. Unlike the incorporated cities in the main list, the US Census Bureau does not release annual population estimates for CDPs.

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:
Peak as an independent city,
annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907. In the 2010 Census, the population of all neighborhoods of Pittsburgh that were formerly part of Allegheny City totalled 43,421.[d]
^The
State of Hawaiʻi has no incorporated municipalities other than the
City and County of Honolulu, which comprises the entire
Island of Oʻahu. In accordance with Hawaiian law, the
United States Census Bureau defines the state's "cities" and "towns" as
Census Designated Places (CDPs). The Census Bureau defines the
Urban Honolulu CDP as the portion of the City and County of Honolulu that is coextensive with the Judicial District of Honolulu. The Urban Honolulu CDP is what is generally thought of as the "city" of
Honolulu, and its population is used here and in other population comparisons. The Urban Honolulu CDP is currently the most populous Census Designated Place in the United States. The
Honolulu, HI Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises the entire City and County of Honolulu.
^All
North Side neighborhoods of Pittsburgh (41,120), plus an additional 2,301 in Census Tract 4270 Blocks 2 & 3, which are the sections of
Millvale, Pennsylvania that were formally part of Allegheny City.
^Jacksonville, na Flórida, é uma
cidade-condado consolidada com o
Condado de Duval. A população é dada para a cidade excluindo outros lugares
incorporados dentro do Condado de Duval. De acordo com o censo de 2010, a população consolidada incluindo outras populações incorporadas é de 864,263.
^O
Havaí não possui qualquer outro município incorporado além da
cidade e condado de Honolulu, que na verdade inclui toda a ilha de
Oahu. De acordo com a legislação do Havaí, o US Census Bureau define as cidades (cities e towns) do estado como
regiões censo-designadas (CDPs). O Census Bureau define a região censo-designada de Honolulu como parte da Cidade e Condado, a qual é co-existente com o Distrito Judicial de Honolulu. A região censo-designada de Honolulu é geralmente considerada como "cidade" de Honolulu, e sua população é utilizado aqui e em outras comparações de população. Se toda a população da cidade e condado fosse considerada, Honolulu estaria na 10ª posição da lista acima, com uma população estimada em 2010 de 953,207 habitantes.
^A
região censo-designada de Arlington,
Virgínia, é co-existente com o
Condado de Arlington. A legislação da Virgínia proíbe a criação de cidades em condados com mais de mil pessoas por milha quadrada, o que o Condado de Arlington excede. Assim, todo o
condado é considerado pelo Census Bureau como um
CDP. Apesar de não ser incorporado, Arlington está incluído na lista anual do Census Bureau nos localidades
incorporadas e é mantida na lista acima.
