It also has outgrown Buffalo, tenth largest city in the country in 1910, as well as Milwaukee, Washington, New. ark, Ciocingati and New Orleans, Los Angeles now has a population of £75.450, an increase of 256,282, while San Fraacisco has 508 410 ighabitants, Los Angeles rate of growth was 80 1 per cent, compared with San Francisco's rate of 21.9 per cent. during the 10 years. Announcement of the populations of San Francisco and Los Angeles left only four of the 20 largest cities of the United States heard from in the 1920 cen: | sus. These four are, Philadelpbia, { Cleveland, Detroit and Kansas City, 'and until their populations ars made public the rabking of the country's 20 largest vities will remain somewhat doubtisl. San Francisco ranked eleventh, just under Buffalo, in 1910, with 42.000 less people. Buffalo's 1920 population is s0%. 875. Milwaukee ranked just below San Francisco, with 38,000 less and now has a population of 457.147. Los Angeles ranked next below Wash. ington, D. C., in 1910, with about 12,000 people less and just above Minneapolis, with about 18,000 more people.
