This Video Features the Largest Metropolitan Areas In North America By Population! This is Accurate Information and I Apologize For the Other Video! Enjoy and Subscribe for More!
Ok, after having checked the most recent OFFICIAL estimates (2017) from actual, legitimate sources, this is the actual ranking order for the top 15 North American Metropolitan Areas: 1. Mexico City, Mexico (population - 21,157,000) 2. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY,NJ,PA (population - 20,320,876) 3. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (population - 13,353,907) 4. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL,IN,WI (population - 9,533,040) 5. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX (population - 7,399,662) 6. Houston-The Woodlands-Sugarland, TX (population - 6,892,427) 7. Greater Toronto (GTA), ON, Canada (population - 6,417,516) 8. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC,MD,VA,WV (population - 6,216,589) 9. Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL (population - 6,158,824) 10. Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA,NJ,DE,MD (population - 6,096,120) 11. Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA (population - 5,884,736) 12. Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA,NH (population - 4,836,541) 13. Greater Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico (population - 4,796,603) 14. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ (population - 4,737,270) 15. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA (population - 4,727,357) I figured I’d do the top 15 instead of top 10, since a lot of people are probably wondering where their metro area places.
And just in case anybody’s wondering what the top 20 are, here ya go... 16. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA (population - 4,580,670) 17. Greater Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico (population - 4,475,949) 18. Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI (population - 4,313,002) 19. Greater Montreal, QE, Canada (population - 4,027,100) 20. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA (population - 3,867,046)
@@DFW_Productions No, but I can understand how that might seem a little confusing. Greater Houston is a bit larger than the Dallas division of the DFW metroplex by itself, but now the U.S. Census Bureau includes the Fort Worth metro division with Dallas as a single metro area, whereas they used to count them as separate. With Houston there is only one central hub for the metro area, and in DFW there are two.
Why is Torontos metropolitan square area significantly smaller than all other cities. If the actual proper area was taken into account the population would be considerably be larger
These are not technically wrong. They are a form of measure that includes the city population plus all its towns, suburbs exc around the city. It's not always a fare comparison however because cities like Dallas and Houston have pretty low density population across the entire city and expand over a very large space around the city, while cities like Toronto or Philadelphia are much more densely populated, busy, and dont expand as far outwards.
(I know im late lol) For anyone confused, this list is going off of Metropolitan populations and not the actual city (Read the desc). Hopefully that clears things up a little bit!
No. Your wrong. & Phoenix isnt even that big, its very spread out sprawling city with low density population. Philadelphia is much smaller in land area but much higher density population. If you add in the sprawling suburbs around the city creating the metro area population, according to a wiki search, Philadelphia is still larger population of about 6.2 million vs Phoenix of around 4.5 million.
Wrong. Miami has a population of about 447000 within the city limits. You are giving the area of a city proper and then giving the population of the Metro area. Miami's metro area according to Wikipedia is over 6000 square miles.
Used to live in Miami/Fort Lauderdale/West Palm Beach and they definitely have over 6 million people and about half a million of them are driving with their blinkers on right now.
This is not true because I'm from Washington dc and we're not in the top 10 of cities in size at all,and to say philly is small than Washington dc in terms of the land size is seriously not true at all...
vernon Johnson it's the number of people in the metropolitan region of the city. Not the city itself. For instance NYC has about 8.5 million people that live in the city but the metropolitan area consists of about 20 million.
@@pinkyuniverse4879 actually you the one looking stupid. Central America is not a continent, central America is a region in the continent of North America. It is also often referred to as Latin America, however Central America is still officially in North America. Same with many islands in the Caribbean, again they as well are in the continent of North America.
@@lxyks That’s what they teach you, back in my school they used to teach me that way. Recently i’ve learned that in other places Central America is referred as a region of North America. But i’m not stupid, in my country(Argentina) they teach us this way. That central america is a division of Americas.
The difference between the term City vs Metro Area is night and day! Dallas is a city of 1.2 million residents, Dallas/Fort Worth Metro is an area of 7million plus! The center of Dallas is 23 miles away from the center of Fort Worth measured Court House To Court house. They reside in two different counties. Dallas County and Tarrant County. Two completely different Cities with 30 plus cities around and in between. City of Arlington the largest has close to 400,000 residents. This can be said for all of the cities on the list. Los Angles maybe the City on the list that is completely misleading. The number of residents 13 plus million live in over 100 different cities in the Los Angles area.
Whether or not this is about metros and not cities, this uploader still got most of his facts wrong. All one has to do is research the figures on legitimate record-keeping sites, and they’ll find that the info provided in this clip doesn’t match up to the official numbers. So, before anyone else gets all puffed up and starts calling people ‘idiot’, try researching it on your own.
Yeah, this dude got a lot of things wrong. The figures are all off, and he referred to the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area as just “Dallas”. That’s going to piss off a lot of North Texans.
You see cities just pick and choose what is "City land area" and what is "Metro land area" when often the comparison are completely different. Example: City A :Population 900,000 and land area 100sq Miles City B: Population 1.5 million Land Area 500sq Miles But reality City A could possibly have 2.5 million population if they accounted 500sq. Miles as City, but they didn't count the surrounding towns. Metro can do the same City A: population 6 million and 1,500 sq miles City B: population 7 million and 3,000 sq. Miles. Well City A just decided to not count as far of a distance to call as Metro population because of variety of reasons such as if they accounted 3,000sq miles of a distance they would actually be entering an entire new large cities metro area, another example could be land issues (water, Mountains, EXC.), or the city simply figured that any further then 1,500sq miles is very rural territory to account as "City Metro" Cities like Phoenix, Houston, or Dallas are measured very differently compared to cities like Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston or San Francisco. Some of these Metro Populations and Land Area in the video are just rediculous, to account that land distance it's like you could be living 5 hours away from the city in a rural town and still call it "Metro". Example you could cut Toronto down from over 2,200sq. Miles to 680sq. Miles where the population is 5.2 million instead of 6.4 million, which is more accurate to the city popualtion and its nearby surrounding suburbs. 6.4 million is most likely cutting into other cities territory (example Hamilton) and rural areas. Dallas is no where near over 7 million people in reality.
One big mistake made here was that the uploader labeled the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex as simply “Dallas”. He doesn’t seem to realize that Fort Worth is just as equally important to it’s metro area as Dallas is. It’s a metro area that’s anchored by two distinctly different hub cities that are both somewhat close in size. What a lot of people don’t realize, is that the DFW Metroplex is still divided into two different metropolitan divisions. It’s not like Houston, where the entire metro area revolves around one centralized hub city. The two cities do share some suburbs, but overall they’re basically two different metro areas that recently grew together, each with their own set of suburban areas. For instance, places like Plano and Mesquite are considered suburbs of Dallas, and places like Keller and Haltom City are considered suburbs of Ft. Worth. The only places that could be considered suburbs of both cities would be places like Arlington and Euless. So in other words, yes... on it’s own, the metropolitan division of Dallas is more like 4.9 million, and the metropolitan division of Fort Worth is about 2.3 million. Combined, you get over 7 million.
City populations, please. Not metro population determines the size of a city. You said it yourself in the title, "cities". So the top 5 cities are, Mexico City, New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago. Look it up!!
Yeah, when the title says one thing and then the description says something completely different, then there’s definitely some wires crossed in the uploader’s brain.
For once, someone's done a Top 10 list that's more or less statistically accurate. There's going to be the usual posts, of course, by people who don't know what a metropolitan area and/or city proper is.
Actually, I just checked the official statistics site for Canada, and Toronto’s GTA population, as of 2018, is 6,417,516... which places it at #6 in North America (behind Greater Houston). However, Toronto’s city-proper population is 2,731,571, which places it as the 3rd biggest North American city. Toronto just recently knocked Chicago out of the #3 spot.
Also, yes. Greater Miami (as of the most recent official estimates) places it in the #8 spot, with roughly 6.2 million, while metro Philly ranks behind it at #9, with just barely over 6 million. This uploader got so many things wrong, I don’t even know where to begin. He (I’m guessing it’s a he) also mislabeled the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area as just “Dallas”. That’s really going to piss off any Ft. Worthians who happen to watch this. They HATE that shit.
It's a measurement of Metro areas. But they are not always measurements of the same thing. Some cities include a further distance then others. Also population density can be a big factor in what describes a city. For example Houston and Dallas are mostly lower density populated over a extremely large land mass. Cities like Philly or Toronto are much more high densely populated and busy. But they dont include as far of a distance expanding outwards as Metro. It is a true measurement that Houston technically does have a higher Metro population then Toronto. However if you were actually in Toronto it would appear to be much more people in the city then it would on Houston....and the question is why? Well Houston official city boundaries has about 1,650sq km with only 2.3 million people....Toronto 630sq km has 2.9 million people. Toronto+Missauga +Brampton is about 1,100sq km and 4.3 million people. Toronto expands further to 1,740sq km has about 5.4 million people inside a similar land space of Houston City that only has 2.3 million . However Houston eventually passes Toronto only because it stretches its land mass far passed that of Toronto. It sort of means the metro numbers dont always describe the real density population.
Some cities metros are so big, Dallas is in no way bigger then Toronto. If Toronto included the massive footprint that Dallas uses it's population would be 7,826,367 not 5,928,040. Even then spread out i's population density would destroy Dallas's at 277.53/km2 (718.8/sq mi). Also FYI Your top 10 should be as follows according to you video title. 1. Mexico city 8,918,653 2. NYC 8,550,405 3. Los Angeles 3,971,883 4. Toronto 2,826,498 5. Chicago 2,720,546 6. Houston 2,296,224 7. Havana 2,117,625 8. Montreal 1,753,034 9. Ecatepec de Morelos 1,677,678 10. Philadelphia 1,567,442
Nah, Dallas is still much larger. Having a larger skyline doesn’t mean the city is bigger. America is MUCH more populated than Canada. California alone has more people than Canada.
True although MSA vs CMA comparisons can be problematic. The 'metro' population of Toronto would include both Oshawa and Hamilton using US definitions of metro. If one did so, 'Toronto' would clock in at 7.8 million... ahead of both Houston and Dallas. It will all be moot soon anyway. 2018-2019, Toronto added more people than any other metro in North America and its growth is only picking up momentum. Growth numbers in Dallas and Houston are weakening. It's almost a certainty that Toronto will reel in, and zoom past, Chicago too.
@@GoWestYoungMan Toronto is adding more people, but Houston & Dallas Metros aren't weakening. They're still rollin in. There's also biases when it comes to MSAs & CSAs as well. Greater Los Angeles will be 13M, then you'll see a blatant 18M MSA depending on how far you dig for the whole truth. But the biased writers will unbiasely make sure that Greater NYC is of course much further ahead of of LA with the 20M to 13M stuff. I like Toronto. It's one of my favorite cities and metro areas since the early 90s Blue Jays era. But when you start adding extra upon extra, then it loses credibility. Houston Metro is already just over 7.1M. DFW is in the 7.5M area. If I added even more to areas too far away from either DFW or Greeter H, then they'd both be in the 9.5M & 10M mark respectively. That's where it begins to get silly again. These population gurus have been doing this stuff for as far as I can remember reading up on this stuff since the early 80s and tracking more accurate amounts, as opposed to reading up on biased over exaggerated amounts for certain places.
It's also important to note that it hurt these population people that Toronto surpassed Chicago in city population by discrediting and disrespecting Toronto saying "They'll never have Chicago's reputation, or influence or reverence" a few years ago I read. I thought that was just them hating on some butt hurt bullshit you know. Texas cities and metros as a whole fluctuate as most places would, but they're not weakening. Especially during this nonsense PLANdemic. Eventually in time, the population here will edge out California. Almost 10M people moved here in less than 10 years. It's still steadily going up.
If you look at the actual, official population figures on legitimate record-keeping sites, you’ll find that this really isn’t good information at all. In fact, it’s pretty horrible.
Most of this is wrong. The population that your listing is not for the city and is instead the whole suburban area so the populations are actually way less. Also I know for a fact that Toronto is the fourth biggest city in North America.
City population means nothing when you don’t count the entire metro area. Toronto is the largest city but it’s metro area isn’t larger than Dallas or Chicago.
So then, the title says “cities”, but the description says “metropolitan areas”. Hmmm... I spy a discrepancy here. Just a suggestion, but you might want to go in and edit that title to “10 Largest Metropolitan Areas in North America”. You’ll probably get more ‘likes’ if you do that. Also, why do these clips always have the most awful music possible?
This is dumb these are metro area populations not city populations like the title says...someone actually thinks Dallss is the 4th biggest city maybe read more facts it's like 8th or 9th
4th biggest METRO... and you forgot that Fort Worth helps make it the 4th largest metro. It’s not like FW is just some suburb of Dallas. It’s the other hub city in the metroplex. That’s why they call it the “Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex”, and not the “Dallas Metroplex”.
@MARKO Metro areas is what cities are truly measured by. Toronto is bigger than Chicago, but absolutely no one thinks it is a larger city due to Chicago’s much larger metro area. The same is said for Dallas. More people live in and around Dallas than Toronto and it’s growing faster than the Toronto area. Dallas-Ft Worth is the fastest growing metro area in North America with over 120,000 people moving here per year. America is a much larger country population wise. California alone has more people than Canada. Texas has nearly 30 million people...while Ontario only has 14 million. Texas’ 2 metro areas are equivalent to the entire population of Ontario.
@MARKO they’re not that far apart at all. Dallas’ and Ft Worth’s outermost city limits is pretty close. They measure from Downtown Ft Worth to Downtown Dallas to get that 35 mile distance. There’s continuous development between Dallas and Ft Worth. Both cities share the same suburbs.
@@Brewzerr True, Ft worth is not too far off from Dallas. However, Ft Worth has a much larger land area,. Therefore, considerably more sprawling than Dallas.
@@Brewzerr but the population of the cities itself miami is bigger and more denser by atl population not far behind Just like Chicago's population not far behind La chicago use to be the second biggest city bug the city population is dropping so soon houston will be the third biggest city
You’re thinking of city rankings, not metro area rankings. Metro Dallas-Fort Worth ranks at #4 nationally, and Metro Houston is #5, even though Houston is a bigger city.
Mexico City is the OLDEST city in the Americas. Founded 1321. It also is the city with more museums in the world, second only to London. By the way, Mexico has 38 UNESCO heritage sites, most in the Americas. In comparison, the US has only 22.

Well City A just decided to not count as far of a distance to call as Metro population because of variety of reasons such as if they accounted 3,000sq miles of a distance they would actually be entering an entire new large cities metro area, another example could be land issues (water, Mountains, EXC.), or the city simply figured that any further then 1,500sq miles is very rural territory to account as "City Metro"

However, Toronto’s city-proper population is 2,731,571, which places it as the 3rd biggest North American city. Toronto just recently knocked Chicago out of the #3 spot.
Also, yes. Greater Miami (as of the most recent official estimates) places it in the #8 spot, with roughly 6.2 million, while metro Philly ranks behind it at #9, with just barely over 6 million. This uploader got so many things wrong, I don’t even know where to begin. He (I’m guessing it’s a he) also mislabeled the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area as just “Dallas”. That’s really going to piss off any Ft. Worthians who happen to watch this. They HATE that shit.
No Toronto is 6 place and Chicago is 4th
It's a measurement of Metro areas. But they are not always measurements of the same thing. Some cities include a further distance then others. Also population density can be a big factor in what describes a city.
For example Houston and Dallas are mostly lower density populated over a extremely large land mass. Cities like Philly or Toronto are much more high densely populated and busy. But they dont include as far of a distance expanding outwards as Metro.
It is a true measurement that Houston technically does have a higher Metro population then Toronto. However if you were actually in Toronto it would appear to be much more people in the city then it would on Houston....and the question is why? Well Houston official city boundaries has about 1,650sq km with only 2.3 million people....Toronto 630sq km has 2.9 million people. Toronto+Missauga +Brampton is about 1,100sq km and 4.3 million people. Toronto expands further to 1,740sq km has about 5.4 million people inside a similar land space of Houston City that only has 2.3 million . However Houston eventually passes Toronto only because it stretches its land mass far passed that of Toronto.
It sort of means the metro numbers dont always describe the real density population.
Is says the population for NYC is more the the whole state has
The NYC metro expands into other states
I thought Atlanta was bigger in population than Philly? Were the 9th largest city in the US
This list stands according to the population not by area.
I have never heard of most of these cities. It shows you just how small USA really is.
Better than your first and your first was really good
Some cities metros are so big, Dallas is in no way bigger then Toronto. If Toronto included the massive footprint that Dallas uses it's population would be 7,826,367 not 5,928,040. Even then spread out i's population density would destroy Dallas's at 277.53/km2 (718.8/sq mi). Also FYI Your top 10 should be as follows according to you video title.
1. Mexico city 8,918,653
2. NYC 8,550,405
3. Los Angeles 3,971,883
4. Toronto 2,826,498
5. Chicago 2,720,546
6. Houston 2,296,224
7. Havana 2,117,625
8. Montreal 1,753,034
9. Ecatepec de Morelos 1,677,678
10. Philadelphia 1,567,442
Nah, Dallas is still much larger. Having a larger skyline doesn’t mean the city is bigger. America is MUCH more populated than Canada. California alone has more people than Canada.
Tf is Santo domingo
This is really wrong because Dallas isn't bigger than Houston or Toronto
Old stats. On city alone. Dallas is like 9th or 10th.
These cities are based on metropolitan area not the city it self because Miami would not be on this list
Read the description, Genius
For real they always say Atlanta has 480,000 but atlanta is full our population I'm pretty sure passed miami we not in the 400thousands no more
Post more ma nigguh

Where is Montreal Vancouver Calgary las Vegas San francisco
Why is Miami a picture of Tampa? That’s offensive!
You have an image of Baltimore at 1:22 for Washington DC. Baltimore is not part of metro DC...
Are you rewriting the census to fit your agenda
i’m at tyler tx but i’m at one hour to dallas tx. and it is a large city
Houston bigger.
DFW is #5 but Greater Houston should be #6 Both have more than Toronto. Toronto city proper has more than Houston city proper.
True although MSA vs CMA comparisons can be problematic. The 'metro' population of Toronto would include both Oshawa and Hamilton using US definitions of metro. If one did so, 'Toronto' would clock in at 7.8 million... ahead of both Houston and Dallas. It will all be moot soon anyway. 2018-2019, Toronto added more people than any other metro in North America and its growth is only picking up momentum. Growth numbers in Dallas and Houston are weakening. It's almost a certainty that Toronto will reel in, and zoom past, Chicago too.
@@GoWestYoungMan Toronto is adding more people, but Houston & Dallas Metros aren't weakening. They're still rollin in. There's also biases when it comes to MSAs & CSAs as well. Greater Los Angeles will be 13M, then you'll see a blatant 18M MSA depending on how far you dig for the whole truth. But the biased writers will unbiasely make sure that Greater NYC is of course much further ahead of of LA with the 20M to 13M stuff. I like Toronto. It's one of my favorite cities and metro areas since the early 90s Blue Jays era. But when you start adding extra upon extra, then it loses credibility. Houston Metro is already just over 7.1M. DFW is in the 7.5M area. If I added even more to areas too far away from either DFW or Greeter H, then they'd both be in the 9.5M & 10M mark respectively. That's where it begins to get silly again. These population gurus have been doing this stuff for as far as I can remember reading up on this stuff since the early 80s and tracking more accurate amounts, as opposed to reading up on biased over exaggerated amounts for certain places.
It's also important to note that it hurt these population people that Toronto surpassed Chicago in city population by discrediting and disrespecting Toronto saying "They'll never have Chicago's reputation, or influence or reverence" a few years ago I read. I thought that was just them hating on some butt hurt bullshit you know. Texas cities and metros as a whole fluctuate as most places would, but they're not weakening. Especially during this nonsense PLANdemic. Eventually in time, the population here will edge out California. Almost 10M people moved here in less than 10 years. It's still steadily going up.
Wow good information thanks
If you look at the actual, official population figures on legitimate record-keeping sites, you’ll find that this really isn’t good information at all. In fact, it’s pretty horrible.
Now the state Washington is a city now
1 and 2 where correct
Jacksonville is more than three times the size of Miami in area that’s some bs
Most of this is wrong. The population that your listing is not for the city and is instead the whole suburban area so the populations are actually way less. Also I know for a fact that Toronto is the fourth biggest city in North America.
City population means nothing when you don’t count the entire metro area. Toronto is the largest city but it’s metro area isn’t larger than Dallas or Chicago.
I think he meant in 2035, not 2020.
This is soo wrong
This is the population of the metro area
Bay are is in the top 5 just so you know
@Tony Delariva the list is talking about MSA population not CSA population. SF's msa is 4.8mil but SF's csa (which includes SanJose) is 9.8mil
So then, the title says “cities”, but the description says “metropolitan areas”. Hmmm... I spy a discrepancy here. Just a suggestion, but you might want to go in and edit that title to “10 Largest Metropolitan Areas in North America”. You’ll probably get more ‘likes’ if you do that. Also, why do these clips always have the most awful music possible?
Also, it’s “Dallas-Fort Worth” if you’re referring to the metro area... not just “Dallas”. That’s only going to piss people off.
The Bay área has more than 8 million people and its not on the top 5
This is dumb these are metro area populations not city populations like the title says...someone actually thinks Dallss is the 4th biggest city maybe read more facts it's like 8th or 9th
I live there and it's the ninth Houston is the 4th largest
LIT.THE.LITMAN is correct. Houston is #4 and Dallas is #9. However, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro is slightly larger than metro Houston.
Dallas is the fourth biggest in the us WHOOOOOO
Thats my country WHOOOOOOO
Actually Houston is
This is all wrong houston is
4th biggest METRO... and you forgot that Fort Worth helps make it the 4th largest metro. It’s not like FW is just some suburb of Dallas. It’s the other hub city in the metroplex. That’s why they call it the “Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex”, and not the “Dallas Metroplex”.
Houston is #4
Definitely a #lazyyoutube video!
These are all wrong
So i live in 2018 and Los Angeles has 4 million. What’s the point
ReturnoftheBrotha - Nope. The latest estimates place the city of Los Angeles at about exactly 4 million. Josue Carrera isn’t “overinflating”.
Toronto's bigger than Dallas
no Canada
It’s not. Dallas is much larger.
@MARKO Metro areas is what cities are truly measured by. Toronto is bigger than Chicago, but absolutely no one thinks it is a larger city due to Chicago’s much larger metro area. The same is said for Dallas. More people live in and around Dallas than Toronto and it’s growing faster than the Toronto area. Dallas-Ft Worth is the fastest growing metro area in North America with over 120,000 people moving here per year. America is a much larger country population wise. California alone has more people than Canada. Texas has nearly 30 million people...while Ontario only has 14 million. Texas’ 2 metro areas are equivalent to the entire population of Ontario.
@MARKO they’re not that far apart at all. Dallas’ and Ft Worth’s outermost city limits is pretty close. They measure from Downtown Ft Worth to Downtown Dallas to get that 35 mile distance. There’s continuous development between Dallas and Ft Worth. Both cities share the same suburbs.
This wrong Dallas is not bigger than Houston
New York is not 500 ppl per square mile. It is 27k per square mile. This video is gay

Nope. It’s damn close, but Mexico City is still slightly bigger.

Umm this is outdated and wrong
this isnt cities
Dallas/Fort Worth, not "Dallas"- FYI.
Thank you. Fort Worth is very much it’s own distinct city, not just some suburb, and it’s actually not much smaller than Dallas.
@@Brewzerr True, Ft worth is not too far off from Dallas. However, Ft Worth has a much larger land area,. Therefore, considerably more sprawling than Dallas.
Too smart, amazing!!!

Atlanta metropolitan is 6.6 million we above Miami??
Yeah
Atlanta metro is 5.8 million, not 6.6 million.
@@wadeforlife1 its 6.6 we been passed 5 million like 2 years ago
@@Brewzerr I was actually wrong about miami Miami's metro 6.8 or 9 million so miami still above Atlanta
@@Brewzerr but the population of the cities itself miami is bigger and more denser by atl population not far behind Just like Chicago's population not far behind La chicago use to be the second biggest city bug the city population is dropping so soon houston will be the third biggest city

You’re thinking of city rankings, not metro area rankings. Metro Dallas-Fort Worth ranks at #4 nationally, and Metro Houston is #5, even though Houston is a bigger city.
This is a joke, Mexico City? You have to pay me to visit it.
Who’s telling you to go? 😂
Mexico City is the OLDEST city in the Americas. Founded 1321. It also is the city with more museums in the world, second only to London. By the way, Mexico has 38 UNESCO heritage sites, most in the Americas. In comparison, the US has only 22.
