US Census projection:

Pittsburgh fell to 59th in population among U.S. cities, a drop of two spots since the 2006 figures. Its July 1, 2007 population was 311,218.

The media also varies its coverage from time period to time period. With all the media coverage last year, you would of thought that the city blew its historical murder count record of all time. It did not. Philly's record is 503 homicides in 1990. It hasn't come close to that amount in the past few years, yet the media made it sound like dooms day hit Philadelphia with the coverage the last few years.

I just demonstrated the power of the media on peoples minds.

actually, if you look at page 6 of that PDF it gives the correct definition of a *city* of the first class as being over 1 million.

1.5 million is the definition of a first class *county*.

really, really, really...the definition of a 1st class city in PA is a population of 1 million or more. really. for real.

no problem...i just find it kinda funny that this thread keeps being revived even though the definitive answer (along with citation) was given many moons ago.
