Jacksonville, Florida and Virginia Beach, Virginia. There’s a shite load of people in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and I know absolutely nothing about it.

Agree, especially among very large US cities. Half the country is oblivious to it, and even in the Southeast it is very overlooked. No NFL or MLB team contributes, but it has a pretty small major corporate and professional class for a city its size, so I think that's probably the biggest factor.

Wow! Talk about a place I never want to see again. Homeless crowd crawling in the dumpster on my construction site to "chase the dragon" with their heroin, others wacked out on meth shouting and screaming at everyone who walks by, part-a-lets for the jobs site getting flipped over and dragged blacks away from site because they get locked up at night to keep the crackheads from shooting up or otherwise trashing them, needles all over the sidewalks... I could go on and on. And all this was only blocks away from San Jose State.
That place sucks. The police force is a joke out there. It's a hell hole.

Luanda, Angola
Luanda and its metropolitan area is the most populous Portuguese-speaking capital city in the world
While you over half the city residents living in poverty, Luanda is one of the world's most expensive cities for resident foreigners. For example, a tub of ice cream will cost you over $31

Gotta be Louisville, KY

Louisville twice the population of Cincinnati

Very talked about that time a passenger jet collided with a charter flight right over the city. About 12 years ago.

cincinnati is twice as big as louisville. looking at city limits population is stupid, the metro area is much more indicative of a city's actual size, relevance, things to do, etc...
cincinnati, columbus, and cleveland are all basically the same size

How is Ohio the Midwest? It is further east than Mississippi and Alabama.

Columbus is the largest city in Ohio

Louisville is a consolidated city-county. Just like Jacksonville. Meaning their city limits are really large because it’s the whole county. City population rankings are really arbitrary because they rely on land area.
Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida because it’s a giant county but it’s no where near the largest urban area population. Urban area population is much more important when talking about population.
For example Jacksonville’s urban population is about 1 million. Miami’s is 5 million.

Detroit is not talked as much as it used to be, but it is still talked about. Detroit used to be crack city central with gangs and random killings and it went bankrupt but compared to Chicago, Detroit isn't talked about as much.
Either Detroit isn’t a very large city or it is and is talked about, but as a historic failure shithole.
Either way, bad answer.

Yep. Atlanta proper population is around 450K. Atlanta metro is 6 million.

Urban area is even more accurate than metro area because urban area deals with built up infrastructure around a city.

It’s just suburban Boise. Look at the 200 largest city proper populations. You’ll see all sorts of random cities that are suburbs in Texas and California.

I’ll go with Fort Worth,
Fort Worth had widely reported shootings and fatalities over the 7/4 holiday weekend.
No one started a thread about them on the OT because Fort Worth isn't Chicago.

Not reading the thread but San Jose. 10th largest city in the country and people confuse it with Santa Cruz.
Hell, I live in SJ now and when I moved to the Bay Area, I didn’t even visit it in the first two years I was out here before I bought a house in SJ.

I think the real answers have to be non-coastal cities that have had mass amounts of recent growth…or suburbs.
Most OTers have probably heard of any reasonably large place. But if you polled your average American, they wouldn’t have a damn clue that if you talk city-proper, you have some of these figures:
San Antonio - 7th largest city at over 1.5 mil
Fort Worth - 12 largest US city at over 900K
El Paso - 22nd largest at 682K
OKC - 26th at over 662K
32-36 in population is Albuquerque, Tucson, Fresno, Mesa, Sacramento…..37 is Atlanta.
Sometimes forget that Raleigh and Virginia Beach both have over 450K.
Plano, TX is about to eclipse the 300K mark.
I’ve long been fascinated by population figures and shifts and whatnot. There’s been lots of movement the last couple of decades. The ‘work-from-home’ trend could change things even more.
