I apologize for not including Phoenix, Arizona(pop. 1,321,045)
on my list. It should have been there. (Thanks Nelson)

Here is a link to the Top 50 Cities in the U.S. by Population
Data taken from the Census 2000 
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0763098.html

Phoenix, Arizona (pop. 1,321,045) seems to be missing.

Hempstead, New York is a town (one of three in Nassau County; there
are two cities).  It contains 22 incorporated villages and is
generally not counted in "city" rankings.   For example, according to
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0108252.html, the ten lrgest cities in
NYS are New York, 8,085,742; Buffalo, 285,018; Rochester, 215,093;
Yonkers, 197,388; Syracuse, 144,001; Albany, 93,919; New Rochelle,
72,582; Mount Vernon, 68,404; Schenectady, 61,016; Utica, 59,485.

I also thought several cities are missing from the Bobbie list such as
Miami, Florida, Pittsberg, Pa. Tulsa, Ok. Raliegh, NC. Durham, NC,
Oakland, Calif.
 Perhaps the difficulty is suburbs are not included in the either the
bobbie or nelson numbers.  I thought Buffalo, NY was 3 times the
285,018

adilqureshi-ga's list cannot possibly be right.  I've never even heard
of many of those places.

neilzero, suburbs should NOT be included, unless metro area population
is requested.  I took a quick look on Wikipedia for Miami, Pittsburgh
and Oakland and was quite surprised that they do indeed fall below
450,000.  Aside from NYC, New York's large cities are not all that
large.
