USA Centric - Common Place Names #1

These are the most common place names in the USA, according to http://citypopulation.de/.
It's harder than I thought it would be. Don't be discouraged if you don't get many.
The categories include:
  • State
  • Region - Counties, Parishes, and Census Areas
  • Townships
  • Local - Cities, Towns, Boroughs, Villages, Precincts, and Unorganized Territories.
  • Neighborhoods within cities are not included.
Unique names are counted separately. That means that Whoville, West Whoville, Whoville Heights, and Whoville Upper Falls don't count as the same name.

I am thinking this might be better as a top 100, 50, or 25. What do you think?

I got 68/138, just under half and better than 100% of others? I knew it was tough, but holy carp.

Level 82
Jun 28, 2021
I got 52 on my first go. Most-guessed one that I missed was Richmond, which I'm disappointed I didn't guess as I once lived in a Richmond. I've also lived in a Davis and a Centreville and I'm surprised those don't make the cut; I guessed both of them.

Annoyed that I didn't guess more of the common street names, which would've been a good strategy. Also surprised that Beaver made the list. :)

And more surprised that 4% of people guessed it!
