Ten Biggest Cities in each Quadrant of the United States

The United States has been split into four quadrants. Name the ten biggest metro areas in each quadrant, with the help of a map. The "center" is the Geographic center of the contiguous United States.
Inspired by Ten Biggest Cities by Hemisphere by Quizzer6794
For cities that straddle multiple quadrants, the city's whole population is included only in the quadrant where the city's center is located.

I hate to nitpick, because this is such a great quiz, but if the quadrants are based on the geographic center of the contiguous states, then only the contiguous states are in the quadrants.

Good point. Which city would be next up in the NW quadrant then? Bend?

To get Anchorage to just shy of 400,000 requires including the Mat-Su Borough--an area the size of West Virginia. Seems like Ogden-Salt Lake City-Provo fits the definition of a metro area more than that. Interesting that the #2 in the northwest would not even make the Top 10 list for the southeast, only 3 in the northwest make the Top 10 in the southwest, and only 2 make it onto the list for the northeast. No wonder I like the geographic area of the northwest so much!

Very cool quiz but you're very, and I mean veeeery, off with the population data.
