I’m curious how or if Omaha’s rank has changed over the years. But I couldn’t find any studies from Smart Asset relating to prior years. (Their site’s search feature doesn’t work.)

Anyone happen to have them?

I'm surprised Lincoln, Nebraska, is in the 76 largest cities.

Just behind St. Louis. I was surprised to not see Des Moines on the list, but their like 100 something in city size ranking. I wonder how we rank overall if they did a metro versus city ranking.

I always forget how big of a percentage that the STL metro is compared to the primary city.

I remember seeing a VH1 "fun fact" 20+ years ago lol, that Lincoln was actually the largest city in America without metro/suburb laden city lol

If you exclude cities that are losing population, Omaha is the 15th largest city!

Not that excluding those cities is a particularly valid approach.
