You're missing the independent cities which joined Philadelphia in 1854: Spring Garden, Northern Liberties, Kensington, Southwark, and Moyamensing. Also missing Brooklyn which wasn't part of NYC until 1898. The then-independent cities later absorbed into Boston and Pittsburgh are here though.

All of them are even clearly listed in the source. Brooklyn and Northern Liberties are right at the top, #7 and 8.
