…. Brooklyn was NOT the 4th largest city in America at that time but rather was the 4th largest right before all five boroughs become a singular NYC in 1898.

And it was a show about education. I feel I was lied to.

For fun, with 2020 populations and NYC broken out into boroughs: - osklister February 24, 2026, 9:49:23

I assumed the same as you. Now I want to know what rank it was.* - DT February 23, 2026, 19:02:50
- Well hold on. In 1980, the 4th most populous city was Philly at 1.7M - DT February 23, 2026, 19:07:00
  - It was 2.6 million in 1970, only NYC's other 4 boroughs, Chicago and LA were bigger* - illini222 February 23, 2026, 20:48:19
  - It also seems that Brooklyn is the 4th most populous city in the US in 2026. - complainant February 23, 2026, 19:31:59
    - True although it’s neck and neck with Chicago, depending on the day* - timmer February 23, 2026, 21:35:53
