Kinda interesting ... despite being the 4th most populous state, and having the most populous city in the US, it only has 1 other city over 250,000 (Buffalo and if trends hold, that'll change after the Census) and only 5 total over 100,000 (as many as CT).

I did learn while researching my Buffalo TD that some think the city's decline will reverse in coming decades as the region's climate and access to water position it as a refuge against the worst of climate change. We'll see.
