More than that, Boise City should not be accepted. The city is called Boise.

According to Wikipedia, it is less commonly called Boise City, but there's no reason to refer to it that way here, and Boise should be accepted regardless. Interesting quiz!

My apologies for the Boise/Boise City error. I used the data set that came with ArcMap - which has Boise City in the name field - and imported it into the game. I noticed the error when I tested the game but then forgot to go back and change it. It's fixed now. There actually is a town in Oklahoma called Boise City. I'm not clear on whether Boise City is a legitimate name for the city in Idaho or not. It may be that a data entry mistake long ago applied the name of the Oklahoma city to Boise, ID, and the error is still persisting in Census data. Regardless, Boise clearly should be an accepted answer, and it now is.

@quizer500: I believe the quiz only includes cities with a 2000 Census population of 100,000. Its 2000 population was 89,847.

Outdated population. You might want to use 2010 Census data.
