Latitude data and source
Cities, populations and coordinates come from our US cities map quiz: incorporated cities ranked by US Census Bureau 2025 population estimates for the city proper, with Washington, D.C., counted as a city. Each city is placed by the single point used on that map, not by its city limits or metro area.
No two places are within 0.1° of latitude of each other, so the order is never a near tie. To keep it that way, the list takes the largest cities in turn and leaves out any city within 0.1° of one already chosen: Dallas (level with San Diego), Fort Worth (level with San Diego), Austin (level with Jacksonville), Columbus (level with Philadelphia), Denver (level with Indianapolis), Las Vegas (level with Nashville), and Detroit (level with Boston) are left out.
