Settlements of 1,000+ people by size [ edit ]
This is not given in the census but I thought it would be a good thing to include. Note also that this list is incomplete ; some areas did not return data for individual cities and towns – most notably, the entire states of Connecticut, Delaware, and Georgia. Where I could guess, I have, but for the most part, what's missing really is missing.
