Pittsburgh is an interesting place... while its population is relatively low (only 306,000 ranking 53rd in the US) the city has a higher population density than 5 of the top 10 most populated cities (5,540 people per square mile). Pittsburgh has not expanded its city boundaries since 1910, creating a misleading statistic because the increasing number of people moving into the suburbs of Pittsburgh are not counted in the citys population. The urban population outside the city limits is around 1.7 million, If Pittsburgh followed suit and annexed its suburbs as cities like Phoenix, Houston, and San Diego have for example, it would instantly move into the top 10 of the most populated cities in the country.
