New York minor civil subdivisions - status and progress | While not based strictly off population, the US Census Bureau’s statistical areas seem to align well with common usage of the For New York, it might make sense to only consider metropolitan areas as cities. That would align with your threshold of 50,000 inhabitants, except that is not restricted to the city limits but instead the entire statistical area for a metropolitan statistical area. This would result in places like Binghamton, Ithaca, and Watertown retaining their city status while preventing places like Clay, a suburb of Syracuse with just over 50,000 inhabitants, from getting tagged as cities. With that said, I think this mechanical edit will be a big improvement overall, and the cities will be easy to clean up after the fact. |
