I want to find the largest 50 cities in each U.S. State.  The top 50
for indiana, new york, ohio, kentucky, etc. etc. etc.

I imagine this data can be access via the census 2000 goverment site,
but I don't know how.  How do I find this information?

Hello Xemion,

Please take a look at City-Data.com.
http://www.city-data.com/

Click on the name of the state to obtain a list of cities with a
population of 6000 or more.

Examples:

Alabama
http://www.city-data.com/city/Alabama.html
Connecticut
http://www.city-data.com/city/Connecticut.html

If you click on the initial of the state you will get a list of cities
with a population of between 1000 and 6000 residents.

Alabama

Connecticut
http://www.city-data.com/city/Connecticut2.html

Would City-Data.com meet your needs?

Thanks,
