New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA and Chicago, IL are the three largest cities in the United States, according to the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates. New York alone has 8,584,629 residents. This ranking covers city limits, not metro areas, so places that annex a lot of land (like Jacksonville) rank higher than their metro size suggests.
