Would be interesting to see. I'm guessing it would be dominated by the northeast & midwest with some far flung outposts like san fran & new orleans
The 1910 Census report seems to be when the Census Bureau introduced urban areas. That report had a table of urban areas with their population in 1910 and 1900. I'm pulling the ZIP file now to extract that page.
