In June 2007, the United States Census Bureau released data listing the top 25 most populated cities in the country. Not only is California the most populous state in the country with about 36 million people, it also has four of the most populated cities in the United States.

California cities that made the top 25 list include:

Los Angeles, ranked number 2 with about 3,849,378 people.

San Diego, ranked number 8 with about 1,256,951 people. San Jose, ranked number 10 with about 929,936 people. San Francisco, ranked number 11 with about 744,041 people.

Texas, being the second most populated state in the country (25,507,783 people), had six cities that ranked in the top 25 list. These cities include: Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth and El Paso.

Listed below is the entire ranking of the top 25 most populated cities as of July 1, 2006, according to the United States Census Bureau.
