Wilmington, DE is weird.
Downtown is packed until between 5 and 6pm. Around 6 the last buses leave and the downtown area becomes a ghost town.

As much as I have heard about Asheville, NC, I thought it would be a pretty populated city... It wasn't till I went there that I realized it's not even half the size of Baton Rouge. Only like 85k or something like that.

Philadelphia is smaller in size (not #) than I always imagined it to be.

New Orleans pop decline started in 1960. It was close to 700k pop at that time
To be fair all US cities started to decline in 1960. Dat white flight.

Measuring size by city limit population is pointless really. So much variance in how that can be divided.
Metro size is what counts.

Going by “downtown size,” Phoenix is surprisingly small. So much land out there that there is no reason to build up.

As a kid I thought New Orleans was huge. Like one of the biggest cities in the country.
A lot of people that live there have that attitude.
New Orleans metro is roughly the size of Louisville or Buffalo.
In reality it's smaller than even these metro areas:
Columbus, OH
Sacramento, CA
Providence, RI
Austin, TX
Oklahoma City, OK
Memphis, TN
Richmond, VA
