List of United States cities by population
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Template:Pp Template:Use mdy dates Template:GeoGroup Template:U.S. city population tables This is a list of the most populous municipal corporations of the United States. As defined by the United States Census Bureau, an incorporated place includes cities, towns, villages, boroughs, and municipalities.Template:Efn A few exceptional census-designated places (CDPs) are also included in the Census Bureau's listing of incorporated places.Template:Efn Consolidated city-counties represent a distinct type of government that includes the entire population of a county, or county equivalent. Some consolidated city-counties, however, include multiple incorporated places. This list presents only the portion of such consolidated city-counties that are not a part of another incorporated place.
This list refers only to the population of individual municipalities within their defined limits; the populations of other municipalities considered suburbs of a central city are listed separately, and unincorporated areas within urban agglomerations are not included. Therefore, a different ranking is evident when considering U.S. urban areas or metropolitan areas.

Census-designated places
The following table lists U.S. census-designated places (CDPs) with populations of at least 100,000 according to the 2020 census. A CDP is a concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places such as cities, towns and villages. CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government, but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places. Unlike the incorporated cities in the main list, the US Census Bureau does not release annual population estimates for CDPs.
The table below contains the following information:
- The census-designated place
- The state
- The census-designated place population as of April 1, 2020, as enumerated by the 2020 United States census[5]
- The census-designated place population as of April 1, 2010, as enumerated by the 2010 United States census
- The census-designated place percent population change from April 1, 2010, to April 1, 2020
- The census-designated place land area as of January 1, 2020[2]
- The census-designated place population density as of April 1, 2020 (residents per land area)[2]
- The census-designated place latitude and longitude coordinates
