Biggest Cities in California Quiz

Got the first 9...

15/20 from UK very satisfied, granted i've been to San Diego but :P

That's amazingly good. I'm from California and only got 13.

Hey I've been there to San Diego too! And I only got 8... I'm gonna go think about my life now... :)

This American got 5 :(

7 and I'm from California :( I'm ashamed.

This is tough if you're not from SoCal.

I and I live in California don't look at me I'm melting in shame

No Richmond? Is that considered part of Oakland? Lived in or near a few of these towns myself... wonderful place to live, excluding Los Angeles, though LA has its own appeal to some.

Are you kidding? Richmond is definitely not part of Oakland. Though both have rough reputations.

Why would I be kidding? They're right next to each other without any clear distinction.

El Cerrito, Albany, Emeryville and Berkeley are all incorporated cities that lie between Richmond and Oakland. Few non-Bay Area residents and former residents may have heard of the first three, but Berkeley is hard to miss and is larger than Richmond.

It's all one continuous urban area. I've heard of all of those places. I used to live in Richmond/San Pablo.

100%, and I've never been less than about 1000 miles away from it!

i suck....i only got 5 but will not use that i am from east coast as an excuse

Should except san bernadino

This + 1.

Forgot the r again!

I consistently remember it now. Forgot it the first time I took this quiz.

17/20 and I cheated like the rest of you.

Can't believe I missed San Jose. My daughter lived there for several years.

I am 12 years old and live in Fremont. got 20/20

Because we asked you how old you were...

I got all of them but Fontana and I'm surprised that Huntington Beach isn't one of them

Ha! I got 20/20 with more than 3 minutes to spare!

Plus, I live in LA.

i got 20/20 and I live in Christchurch New Zealand

That's sad.

live in the UK and got 9/20. You guys that are from america and got less are just dumb.

Dumb because they don't memorize the cities in California where developers are destroying everything to build malls, mini malls and suburbs. All these homes but not jobs or transit systems, infrastructure... So people spend hours in their cars trying to get to work where they can get a job, often 2 hours from home, then another 2 hours after 8 or 10 hours at work.... What a waste of mental energy. Most of these cities are no place you want to live, trust me. It's the ones that did not make the list where life is the most satisfying!

Why should we trust you? California is beautiful and San Francisco is Mercer's #1 most livable city in the whole United States.

Lived there most of my life and was shocked to see how Oxnard grew larger than Pasadena! And Santa Clarita didn't make the list either. Maybe it all depends on if there is room for growth--farms to turn into suburbs? When you drive north on the 101, after Santa Maria, it's all suburbs to the Bay Area. But the growth does not compare to Chula Vista...weird. And nothing on the list north of San Francisco? I found the video on youtube that lists these. I am still surprised. And all those cities we hated to drive through because of the smog--they have beautiful photos...the Air Quality Management Board and the Clean Air Act have done amazing work!! Those cities were too brown to see through the haze when I was a child! Now they are sparkling clear...Riverside may look like it did when my grandparents settled there many decades ago. Oregon is as smoggy as they are! Great theme!

18 and I am from south dakota

20/20 and I'm from Illinois.

100% on second try.

Never been to America and I got 14! :-)

I'm from San Ffancisco, and San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento are the only cities on this quiz that I would ever want to go to.

I been to Los Angeles, but I missed Oakland and Santa Ana:(

For non-Californians like me, it's difficult to know which cities in the LA area are part of LA and which are considered separate cities. i had to take the quiz twice to get them all. I only got Modesto because of the movie, American Graffiti.

Top eleven minus Bakersfield and got San Bernardino. Really want to go to California one day, been to New England but I would really like to explore America and the west coast. Sounds stupid but I'm bored of England :/

Why would that sound stupid?

Too UK Centric.

I think you should give 2 more mins

I got 20 out of 20 and I'm from San Antonio,TX. Very pleased with myself.

Shouldn't Auckland be on here?

I’m shook that there aren’t Redding and Santa Barbara on the list

San Jose is the bane of my existence on this website

got them all except Fontana and Santa Clarita. and I am from Michigan. The farthest west in the US I have gone would be Iowa.

I haven't seen/been able to find anything that show Oxnard getting passed at 20th. The number you show for 20ths population is the 2015 estimate for Oxnard in fact. ****Nevermind**** downloaded census data and see it passed Oxnard. The population clues are still looking at old numbers though. So that might warrant updating

Only got 9. Knew a lot more but it was difficult to know what is considered a suburb of LA or an actual city. I would have known 14 had I typed what I assumed were suburbs.

What impresses me most is that after +56,000 quiz takers (or 6,000 since last reset) LA is still at 100%!
