which cities have the largest populations in the United States reveals much more than just numbers — it tells a story of growth, change, and opportunity. This page highlights the ranking of US cities by population in 2025, offering a detailed and accurate overview of urban America based on the most recent census and demographic estimates.
At the top of the list, New York City continues to be the most populous city in the country, home to more than 8 million people. Its cultural diversity, economic power, and historical significance make it an unmatched urban giant. Following closely are Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix, each representing major population centers in the West, Midwest, and South.
In recent years, southern and western cities have seen the most explosive growth. Cities like Austin, Charlotte, Nashville, and Las Vegas have become magnets for younger populations, tech startups, and companies seeking lower taxes and affordable living costs. These cities are shaping up to be the future economic and cultural hubs of America.
Meanwhile, some traditional industrial cities in the Northeast and Midwest — including Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo — are facing slower growth or slight declines as populations shift toward warmer, more affordable southern regions.
This page includes not only raw numbers but also insights into population density, growth trends, and why people are moving to certain areas. Cities are ranked from most to least populated, and the table can be sorted to show fastest-growing cities or those with declining populations. Whether you’re a student, business owner, traveler, or researcher, understanding urban population trends can help you plan smarter and see where the momentum is heading.
We’ve also included interactive charts and tables to help visualize these changes year by year. Explore which cities are becoming new urban powerhouses and which are seeing shifts due to cost of living, job availability, and climate.
Whether you’re planning a move, expanding a business, or just curious about America’s cities, this comprehensive guide offers all the population information you need — all in one place.
