I’m not entirely sure. In my state (one of the ones shown as β€œcity”), Wikipedia has 942 cities/towns listed and of those only 25 have β€œcity” in their names.

I’m tempted to keep going to see how many Lake, Mount(ain), 'ville, 'burg, etc there are.

If despite the plethora of other words, City was the β€œmode”, then that would make sense. Or it could be adjusted for population, or otherwise biased towards whatever the definition of a β€œcity” is to specifically exclude towns and the like?

In any case it’s kind of a neat graph to think about:-).

Many states insisting on things that they are not really about.

Probably it’s what, ~200 years ago, they hoped would eventually happen!? (like Kansas β€œCity”:-)

Surprised to see Texas isn’t Spanish.

Probably the names are too diverse? Dallas, Houston, Alamo, but they do have some like San Antonio.

While Texas may have a lot of Spanish place names, unlike NM using Santa a lot, and CA using San a lot, Texas just has Spanish names that do not include a similar word.
