SEVENTH CITY
latest Population Figures
Show City Is Mak
ing Gains
Figures made public by the re
icent census estimate tor the regis
tration places Harrisburg the sev
enth city in the state with a popula
tion of 73,276.
It is preceded by Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Scranton, Reading,
Wilkes-Barre and Erie. Compari
son with the figures of census of
former years shows startling growth
by some cities while others have
dropped several places from the
point formerly occupied in the cen
sus tables. Secretary to the Mayor
Albert M. Hamer has prepared a
list of the principal cities of the
United States showing the compari
son and is having it P u . bll ? h ®? v A n
one of the leading municipal de\el
opment magazines.
This latest government estimate
shows remarkable growth since 1910
in many cities, but particularly in
Petroit, Los Angeles, Seattle, 1 ort
land, Oakland, Spokane and Bir-
Detr* it," with 850.000 population.
Is now the fourth city in the coun
try, having passed Boston, St. Louis,
Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh
since the last census. In 189 0 it
ranked 14; in 1900, 13 and in
1910, 9. ... ..
The growth of the cities on the
Pacific coast has been even more
remarkable. Los Angeles is now
the tenth city, having passed San
Francisco and a half dozen other
cities since 1910. In 1890 it rank
-54; in 1900, 35 and in 1910. 17.
Seattle is now 19, rising from 67 in
1890. Portland is now 21, rising
from 58 In 1890. Oakland Is now 30,
rising from 57 in 1890. Spokane,
with only 19,922 people in 1890,
ranked 177; in 1900 it had risen to
112; in 1910 to 48, and now it ranks
39.
Have Remarkable Growth
Several cities in other parts of
the country have also had remark
able growth. Birmingham, with 26,-
000 people, was 116 in 1890; in 1900
It was 106; in 1910, 36 and now 33.
Schenectady, with 19,000. was 154 in
1890; 132 in 1300; 76 in 1910 and
now 67. Houston, with 27,000, was
111 in 1S90; 93 in 1900; 67 in 1910
and now 54. Dallas, which ranked
74 in 1890, now ranks 46, and San
Antonio, which was 78, now ranks
48. Bridgeport was 56 in 1890 an 4
is now 43; New Bedford was 69 in
1890 and is now 50; Salt Lake was
60 in 1890 and is now 51; Tacoma
was 82 in 1890 and is now 53;
Youngstown was 88th in 1890 and
is now 59th; while Oklahoma City,
which only had 4.151 people in 1890,
is now 71 with a population of 97,
588. A
Boston has passed St. Louis but
' yet remains the fifth city by reason
of Detroit's jump to fourth. For the
same reason, Cleveland, although
gaining 130,000 since 1910, falls to
seventh place and thus loses her
slogan as "The Sixth City" which
he has been using since 1910.
Minneapolis passes Washington
nd goes to seventeenth place, while
Denver passes Rochester, Provi
dence, St. Paul and Louisville and
goes to twenty-fourth place.
Omaha advances from forty-first
to thirty-fifth place; Richmond from
89 to 36; and Wilmington from 61
to 55.
All cities have made increases and
there are now seventy cities with a
population of over 100,000, as
against fifty In 1910.
Notwithstanding this general in
crease, many cities have a lower
rank th'an shown in former censuses,
due to the rapid growth of certain
cities.
San Francisco and Cincinnati have
grown from 289,000 and 296,000 in
1890 to and 414,000, yet
they have lost their ranks from
eighth and ninth cities to twelfth
and fifteenth.
