Source: US 2010 Census Factfinder
Name the 4,000 largest cities, towns, villages, boroughs, CDP's, etc according to the official 2010 US Census. May lag on slower systems due to size. NOTE - Townships have "Township" after the name.
UPDATED due to some New England state cities not showing up - stats reflect after 295 plays. Data set totaled 30,169 cities/towns/CDP's/etc, compromising 235.8 million of the 2010 population of 308.7 million. Top 4,000 cities have a total population of 189.3 million. A handful of cities are slightly abbreviated for what you have to enter - i.e. a couple "villes" will fill in after typing just the "v"...just done due to data field sizes going over the limit.

	Boroughs in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are incorporated placed just like towns and villages in other places - they are more like regular municipalities than towns in New England and New York, which are often large rural areas. Not including places like State College and Norristown is ridiculous.

	nsxdarin:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 18:31 GMT	4 points
	@john: didn't fully realize that - they've been added...new stats after 31 plays. Thanks!

	metagloria:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 19:21 GMT	14 points
	fun fact: entering the last names of every u.s. president gets you 56 answers.

	Onno:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 20:03 GMT	4 points
	A cool quiz, but I tested it and New York/New England towns are not included. (For instance Greece, NY and Newington, CT should work). So you'll either have to add those or add CDPs (most of those towns are CDPs too although some with smaller borders). Also, it's a bit annoying that the entire name is sometimes not accepted. For instance Hawaiian Gardens. "Hawaiian G" is accepted, but when typing fast it won't accept it. Perhaps cut back to 2000 cities?

	nsxdarin:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 20:12 GMT	2 points
	@Onno: yeah some cities you will have that typing issue with, nothing I could really do about it, but it's not very many at all. I will add CDP's later tonight, didn't realize a good number of them were actually towns...actually some are quite large such as Honolulu.

	nsxdarin:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 21:20 GMT	2 points
	added CDP's...stats reflect after 97 plays. entire census should be included now.

	miko:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 23:52 GMT	5 points
	For a non-American looking over the answers that pop up, and try answers, that could likely be elsewhere on the board worked very well. Using UK-cities as inspiration also helped.

	TheCavsfan:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 00:11 GMT	3 points
	Excellent quiz!

	lukebradford:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 00:49 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz! Not to be a drag, but you're missing Natick, Massachusetts (population 33,006 at the 2010 census.) I realize this won't affect many people but might indicate something you missed more generally.

	holymoly:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 00:57 GMT	2 points
	Just like to thank you for taking however much time it took to make this quiz. After all, you need to make it accept 4,000 answers!

	nsxdarin:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 03:26 GMT	2 points
	@lukebradford: the census puts out different tables of info, one that went on citypopulation.de, and options from factfinder.census.gov. If you pull up a table on citypopulation.de you can notice the place totals don't add up to the state total. The factfinder pages become quite confusing when you start trying to consider CCD's, Districts, etc and none of those either has the place totals add up to the state totals so I will leave as is. Some cities will be missing - just no nice neat table with all places adding up correctly to the state's total on the census website even.

	Onno:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 08:24 GMT	3 points
	Isn't that logical? Lots of people don't live in cities/villages/towns/etc. A few states like Massachusetts are entirely made up of cities/towns, but the table on City Population uses CDPs instead of towns, which (I think) only contain the urban parts of towns. Example: the town of Billerica has 40,243 but there is only one CDP in the town, Pinehurst (7,152).

	nsxdarin:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 12:58 GMT	2 points
	yeah that's to be expected, but the City Population table also misses cities like the one mentioned above, Natick. that city is listed on the factfinder.census.gov site but in a "county subdivisions" instead of "places" table, so there are some irregularities. I think most of the issues of missing towns/cities is for New England states.

	adamnvillani:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 13:18 GMT	2 points
	Even outside of New England, there are plenty of people who don't live in either an incorporated place nor a Census-designated place.

	Onno:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 16:52 GMT	3 points
	Of course, I meant to say that as well. And for many states that means that they only live in a county, there is no further subdivision. It seems that the census bureau for some reason doesn't define any CDP for Natick. You're right that all the problems involve New England. I think it's fine this way, but I've noticed on another quiz that people can get very offended when you omit New England towns from a quiz...

	nsxdarin:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 17:06 GMT	3 points
	fixed the New England towns - hopefully appeased all you New Englanders!

	senob44:	Apr 13th, 2011 at 01:54 GMT	1 point
	I love the idea for the quiz, but you could have fixed all your problems about leaving things out if you had just used the US CENSUS WEBSITE as a source instead of trying to go the easy route and using citypopulation.de's already tabulated data. Mr. Brinkhoff has an amazing site there to be sure, but sometimes it's best to get data from the source IMO.

	nsxdarin:	Apr 13th, 2011 at 02:31 GMT	2 points
	senob: the US Census's site is the source of citypopulation's data. However, the Census had a separate table for New England states in particular that proved to be better than the regular 'places' table which is what one would think to use...this I didn't realize at first. All of the data is from tables published on the census's website, but it's not as cut and dry as it could be.

	afen:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 19:22 GMT	1 point
	Nice work. You know what would be great? To have a quiz where you actually have to get as many of the top 4000 cities as possible individually, with unlimited time. Of course, this isn't possible on sporcle, but it would be amazing if it were possible somewhere.
