About 10 Biggest Cities In Each State Quiz

Test how many of the top 10 most populous cities in each U.S. state you can name in this U.S. city name game. You earn 1 point for every city you guess correctly, and your goal is to name as many cities as possible within the 30-minute time limit. The question bank is built by ranking cities in every U.S. state by population and selecting the top 10 from each state. There are 498 city names in total, and you must spell each city’s full official name correctly rather than using abbreviations.

About the City Population Ranking Data

The city population rankings in this quiz are based on official population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The data uses the latest available City and Town Population Totals from the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program, which provides annual population estimates for incorporated places and related local government areas in the United States. For each state, cities are ranked by their estimated resident population, and the top 10 cities are selected as quiz answers. The rankings are based on city proper population, not metropolitan area population, which means they reflect the population within official city or incorporated place boundaries rather than the larger surrounding metro region. Because Census estimates are updated regularly, city rankings may change when a new data vintage is released. The current dataset is based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 city and town population estimates, covering population estimates through July 1, 2025.
