Now, with the 2020 Census, all of them (plus Philadelphia) are above 6 million people, so maybe now we could talk about the "Big 11" leaving Detroit out, but it would be a bit weird to place the threshold on 6 million mark instead of 5 million. And now, as Seattle is about to join the 5 million club, with a GDP larger than Miami's, it would be even more problematic to move the mark up.

Yeah, the more that I thought about this, the more it became problematic. At least we can agree that NYC is number 1.
