CITY POPULATION TOTALS

Governing compiled census population data for the nation's largest U.S. cities dating back to 1990.

Updated 2011 estimates suggest population is increasing in most large cities faster than the nation as a whole, and the growth appears to be accelerating. Cities with larger map markers recorded higher percentage gains from April 2010 to July 2011.
