smallness is part of it, but COL is probably the bigger factor at play here. 3 of those 4 cities are
EXTREMELY expensive from a COL standpoint, and miami ain't exactly a bargain city either.
in contrast, other cities with similar land sizes like baltimore, st. louis, pittsburgh, and buffalo don't show up on the "childless city" list because they are an order of magnitude more affordable than cities like SF or DC.
