Philadelphia Still America’s Fifth Largest City
According to Philly.com Philadelphia edged out Phoenix and remains the 5th larges City in the United States:
“The numbers-crunchers from the U.S. Census Bureau, who’d estimated – to much fanfare – in 2007 that Phoenix had passed Philly to become America’s fifth largest city, said yesterday that the actual count from 2010 revealed either a) that that never happened or b) that it happened briefly but it didn’t stick. Arizona’s capital city did grow by 9.4 percent during the 2000s, bringing its total population to 1,445,632. But Philadelphia is celebrating its first decade of growth since the 1940s; although the increase here was just 0.6 percent, the overall number is 1,526,066.”
So for now at least the City of Brotherly Love is still one of the top 5 largest cities in the US.
