Ranked by the Census Bureau's July 1, 2025 population estimates, released May 2026. The Census ranking uses incorporated places and consolidated-city balances, plus Urban Honolulu census-designated place. It excludes metropolitan totals and most New England town subdivisions. Population dates describe the source, not current demand.

150 city and town guides
The 150 most populous census subdivisions with published population counts in the 2021 Census of Population (Census Day: May 11, 2021), ranked by Statistics Canada's Table 98-10-0002-01. A census subdivision is a municipality or its equivalent; this ranking uses municipal boundaries, not metropolitan areas or population centres. Mississauga, Laval and Surrey therefore rank separately from Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver. Halifax and Cape Breton are regional municipalities. North Vancouver's city and district municipality are separate entries. County of Brant and Brantford are separate entries. The Township of Langley is ranked; the separate, smaller City of Langley is outside the first 150. Québec City is the subdivision named Québec. Sixty-three incompletely enumerated reserves and settlements have no published 2021 count and are excluded from the numeric ranking. The expansion retains the original first 50 and adds ranks 51–150, from Thunder Bay (108,843) through Parkland County (32,205); Cochrane, Alberta (32,199), is 151st and excluded. Newer annual census-subdivision estimates through 2025 are available in Table 17-10-0155-01. This directory deliberately retains the same 2021 census vintage and geography for a consistent nationwide comparison; it is not the latest population ranking. Later boundary or administrative changes are not applied to these historical counts. Reviewed October 18, 2026. The 2026 Census population counts were not available at preparation.

50 city and town guides
The 50 largest places in a combined official urban-place comparison: ONS 2022 built-up areas in England and Wales with Census 2021 populations rounded to 5; NRS Census 2022 Scottish localities with total-population attributes and statistical disclosure adjustments; and NISRA Northern Ireland settlements with exact Census 2021 counts. Greater London is included once using its rounded Census 2021 regional population; London boroughs are excluded. Population dates and boundary definitions differ, so this is an editorial coverage ranking, not a single harmonised UK census table or a 2026 population estimate. Towns qualify regardless of formal city status. Metropolitan regions and administrative council districts are not substituted for individual settlements.

Selección editorial de 50 lugares urbanos por población residente al 15 de marzo de 2020, con datos del Censo 2020 del INEGI. Se ordena POBTOT de las localidades, con una excepción explícita: Ciudad de México reúne 15 localidades principales y suma 8,843,706 habitantes. Sus componentes no aparecen de nuevo. Esta agregación no incluye Villa Milpa Alta ni otras localidades de la entidad. Tampoco representa la entidad federativa completa ni la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México. Las otras 49 entradas conservan los límites de una localidad del INEGI. La lista no es una clasificación oficial sin modificaciones ni una comparación de zonas metropolitanas. La Encuesta Intercensal 2025 ya está publicada; sus resultados por localidad sobre viviendas particulares habitadas tienen otro universo poblacional. Se conserva el censo para comparar la población residente total de todas las entradas. Estas cifras históricas no estiman demanda de telemedicina.
