This Florida city is now in the U.S.'s top 10 most-populated – and it's not Miami
The U.S. Census Bureau released a report earlier this month on population change in cities across the county, and the data might just have you spitting out your cafecito.
First and foremost, Jacksonville (the most populated city in the Sunshine State with 985,843 residents) surpassed Austin, Texas, to become the 10th largest city in the country.
