city population
Metro area residents
City population is the number of people living within a city's boundaries.
The figure depends heavily on how those boundaries are drawn—a city proper may have a smaller population than its metropolitan area, which includes surrounding suburbs: The city population is 600,000, but the metro area tops 2 million.
Population counts matter for political representation, funding allocation, and urban planning.
