I reset the quiz to use only the largest city, instead of the two largest. I also made this extreme version for quiz masochists.

I had to research this for my state capital/largest city quiz
The 2010 census had Memphis ahead, but official Census Bureau estimates as of last year gave Nashville the lead.

Cool quiz, another one where I'd love to see the split between Native and non native takers.

Maybe we can do it in comments? Non-native, 47 on first take (but I've done a lot of US quizzes before)

City proper is the stupidest metric ever. No one says London proper or Shanghai proper. I'm from Atlanta which technically has about half a million people, but the metro area has nearly six million. It's contiguous development. How doesn't that count?

Yes it has a very large land area whereas Miami and Orlando have a small area with lots of suburbs that are not part of the city and don't bare the burden in taxes.

Funny how in city proper Columbus is way bigger than Cleveland and Cincinnati, but in Metro area Columbus is smaller than the two!

It's on the border. There is a Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. By city proper the one in Missouri is roughly twice the size. By metro area its a lot more closely divided.

I believe Nashville overtook Memphis in either 2015 or 2016. Nashville has added over 60,000 residents since 2010 while Memphis has not grown at all.
