Population of the incorporated city in 2009 from the census. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_Unite...

They probably should've used metro area, but that might've been a data challenge if they lacked lat/lon for each property.

EDIT: Looks like they're using the wrong Kansas City! That 143K population number is for Kansas city, Kansas, which is much less than half of the total city.

The other half, Kansas city, MO is 482,299, and in the top 50, unlike Kansas City, Kansas.

Probably a bug.
