Chester, PA has ~24k AAs which would put it above Erie and Allentown.

For Kentucky, Hopkinsville has ~9k AAs, Shively has ~8k AAs, Radcliff has ~6k AAs, Covington has ~4.5k AAs, and Frankfort has a little over 4k AAs.

When I saw that Pittsburgh had less than 100k I realized you were just doing city limits. Lots of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia suburbs have higher numbers than Erie and Allentown.

Penn Hills (inner Pittsburgh suburb) - 15,668

I'm wondering if it is included in the Louisville numbers, given that it is in Jefferson County or is it separate?

I double-checked before posting and it is separate. Jefferson County is tricky to figure out.
