The largest cities of the USA
Ballotpedia provides in-depth coverage of America's 100 largest cities based on official population figures provided by the United States Census Bureau. This list has been updated following the release of the 2020 census data. As of 2020, 64,537,560 individuals lived in these cities, accounting for 19.47% of the nation's total population.[1]
This page lists America's 100 largest cities by population, as of the 2020 census. It includes information on mayors in the top 100 largest cities, including when they took office, when their current terms expire, and the cities' government types. It also contains population and budget figures for municipalities.
America's largest cities
The table below lists these 100 largest cities, their 2020 populations, their current mayors, when mayors took office, when current mayoral terms expire, the approximate total expenditures of the city budget, and whether each city is holding municipal elections in 2022.
Although a majority of these cities hold nonpartisan elections, the table below states the partisan affiliation of most of their mayors. Ballotpedia determined the partisan affiliation of each mayor in one of three ways: by cross-checking multiple media outlets that identified someone as affiliated with one political party; by verifying that a mayor previously ran in a partisan election for another office; or by contacting the mayors directly.
The table also describes the types of government used by America's largest cities. Each type has a different distribution of power and responsibilities between the mayor and the city council. The types of government are:
Strong mayor: The city council serves as the city's primary legislative body, and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive.
Council-manager: An elected city council—which includes the mayor and serves as the city's primary legislative body—appoints a chief executive called a city manager to oversee day-to-day municipal operations and to implement the council's policy and legislative initiatives.
City commission: A city council, composed of an elected mayor and a board of elected commissioners, serves as the city's primary legislative and administrative body.
Hybrid: The city council serves as the city's primary legislative body, and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive. The mayor, however, appoints a city manager to oversee the city's day-to-day operations and to implement city policies.
