Top 10 LARGEST Cities in North America by Population (2022)

The Top 10 BIGGEST Cities to live in North America for 2022! While the United States has many of the BEST Small Towns and Cities to move to, Canada, Mexico, and other North American countries also have some of the BEST Big Cities to live in for 2022!

In order to determine which city is the largest (or most populous), we measure the entire population of the city's Combined Statistical Area or CSA, which basically includes all of the surrounding cities and towns within commuting distance.

This is a more accurate way to measure a city's TRUE size as opposed to just the population within a city limits, as a city like Jacksonville, Florida (902,000) technically has a larger population than Seattle, Miami, Boston or San Francisco, all of which are much more bustling cities, but that's only because Jacksonville's city limits are at least 10 times wider than all of those cities'.
You might be surprised by some of the places on this list, as we don't often talk about other countries, but Mexico and Canada really do have some of the BEST places to Live in North America, so comment if you wanna see a video on the 10 BEST Cities in North America, where we analyze each city's economy, crime and safety, cost of living, schools, health, traffic, things to do, and quality of life, as well as the pros and cons of each location!

My biggest suggestion is to visit these cities and countries first to decide where you want to move to and live.

Nothing beats a dense urban walkable city. The have so much vibrancy and character.

Love this! In Australia We go by Metropolitan area. This is Similar to CSA. I agree this is more accurate way to measure the size of a city. When people ask where your'e from, you always say LA or Sydney or London, not the suburb!

[Klinkerklunk]

Toronto, if measured CSA was the same as in the US, would include Hamilton, Oshawa, Niagara Falls, St Catherines, and possibly Kitchener, Etc, bringing the population up over 9 million. These are each their own Metropolitan areas, so as a rule, can't be combined towards another larger Metropolitan city. Although these are official US population figures, official Canadian census numbers are of a more limited and modest count.

México City is great its has everything, modern classic prehispanic, cosmopolita city

[dobiefankw]

Toronto is by far the most diverse city in North America. It has incredible neighbourhoods with some of the best food in the world. Nonstop summer street festivals. Incredible arts and entertainment scene. I would suggest that only New York surpasses Toronto in North America. To suggest that Toronto has no soul is quite frankly laughable. Take this from a former aircrew member.

Chicago is beautiful
DC is where I lived to enjoy being young and single
Dallas is where I now live to enjoy a slower life but with big city amenities
So all of your cons on Dallas are definitely a pro for me, and all of your pros for the densely populated areas like Boston and Philly I'm personally not built for any of that anymore although I DO miss mass transit 🙂

I have been to Chicago before and it was awesome! There are so many attractions that are there in Chicago as well as a lot of history.

[PatricenotPatrick]

Mexico City is #1 not even close. NYC can only reach similar numbers by including counties in PA and CT. When you need 4 states…. It’s a no. Mexico City wins

i love the videos you do on this channel, Great work mango!

[matiasm]

Great video! Btw, I loved that you included images of my city, Lima 🇵🇪, on 13:30. If it was located in North America, it would’ve ranked #4 in this ranking, with 11 million people as of 2022.

After years of minecraft, you've come to Geography!
Keep it up these videos are very enjoyable 👍👍

[ashtondmorgan]

I was expecting to see Houston instead of Dallas. Great list!

[noahdillon]

I definitely think Mexico City is larger because pretty much every list has them at the #1 spot

[outbackigloo]

I thought Guadalajara would have made this list. But I also thought Mexico City was the largest North American city, with New York a close second. I liked this video.
