Rio Linda and Elverta might still be rural and undeveloped enough to not count.



Come to think of it, you have a point there--what part of "Un-City" is thought of as "Sacramento" and what part of Un-City is not.

Interestingly enough, in terms of "ZIP" Postal Codes, Sacramento is assigned "958xx" (except for California State Government departments which were assigned 942xx), and Antelope is 95843, and Foothill Farms is 95841 and 95842. Parkway, La Riviera, Florin, Arden-Arcade, or Rosemont are all 958xx ZIP codes too.

I feel like places like Fair Oaks, Carmichael, and North Highlands are like pseudo-cities. I would be willing to bet some people in those communities don't even know they're NOT cities.
