Again, you're using census data which is based on census blocks and not actual city limits.
>If we exclude suburbs and focus only on the core of major cities (like the principal city boundaries, not their broader metro areas), about 25-30% of the U.S. population lives in these urban cores. The exact number depends on how you define "major city," but for cities with over 100,000 people, it’s roughly 80-90 million out of 334 million total in 2023. That leaves 70-75% living outside these city cores—either in smaller cities, suburbs, or rural areas. The Census doesn’t break it down this precisely without suburbs, so this is based on metro area data and city proper populations.
