There are 124 cities with a population of more than 200,000 in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates, more than 90 percent of the U.S. population growth last year took place outside of its 124 largest cities. About a third of those cities lost population last year. The total population of cities with more than 200,000 residents grew by 0.23 percent, less than half of the United States’ growth last year.
