there is no clear-cut consensus answer for the #2 most urban US city because there simply isn't one.
no city stands head and shoulders above the other contenders for #2 the way that NYC does at #1.

I totally disagree, Chicago is clearly above the others, in my opinion. The sheer magnitude of Chicagos urbanity is un- matched outside of N.Y.C . The problem is there is no consensus of what constitutes urbanity, is it size?is it scale? is it East coast urbanity or West coast urbanity. One question I would add, if NYC was made up like D.C, with limited height of buildings would it still be seen as far superior to other cities? um..therein lies my choice of Chicago, scale is very underated.
