We in Indianapolis are shocked, shocked I say, to see Jacksonville larger than us. LOL. Really was interesting to see those stats though wasn’t it?
When you say “larger”, do you mean land-mass size or population. It is not clear. Just a thought.
Mark — It’s population.
This is only population within city limits which doesn’t matter as all cities are different sizes…metro areas are what matter when comparing cities…
