Find a US city’s population
Type any city above, or pick a popular one below.City to Population List by United States
This tool is a complete city to population list by United States. It covers the largest incorporated cities, towns and municipalities across all 50 states and the District of Columbia — every place with a population above 100,000. For each city you get the population for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, plus its national rank, annual growth rate and population density.
The 2020 figure is the official decennial Census count, and the 2024 figure is the U.S. Census Bureau’s official Vintage 2024 estimate. The years in between (2021–2023) are interpolated, and 2025–2026 are projected forward using each city’s own recent growth trend, so you always see a realistic year-by-year picture rather than gaps.

This database is built on official figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division — specifically the 2020 Decennial Census counts and the City and Town Population Totals (Vintage 2024 estimates, released May 2025). It includes every U.S. incorporated place with a population of at least 100,000.
Which years are official vs estimated?
- 2020 — official decennial Census count (actual headcount).
- 2024 — official Census Bureau population estimate.
- 2021, 2022, 2023 — interpolated between the 2020 count and 2024 estimate using each city’s compound annual growth.
- 2025 & 2026 — projected forward from 2024 using the same recent trend. These are estimates, not official counts, and are marked with an asterisk (*) throughout.
The Census Bureau publishes city-level numbers with roughly a one-year lag, so fully official 2025 and 2026 figures do not exist yet. Showing them as clearly-labelled projections keeps the year-by-year view useful while staying accurate.
