Which U.S. cities tower above the rest?

To mark Skyscraper Day on Sept. 3, Roof Gnome ranked 2023’s Tallest Cities in America.

We compared over 780 U.S. cities and territories based on the total number of buildings rising at least 12 stories. Bonus points were awarded to cities based on their numbers of 150-plus-, 200-plus-, and 300-plus-meter skyscrapers.

See how the tallest concrete jungles in the U.S. stack up in our ranking below. To learn how we ranked the cities, see our methodology.
