Only things with falls in NY are parks.
Why is city in so many places, every city is “city of” or “x city”. That’s not really the name though. There be way more of Town than City if thats how you did it.
Falls:
Brasher Falls-Winthrop
Glens Falls
Glens Falls North
High Falls
Highland Falls village
Honeoye Falls village
Hoosick Falls village
Hudson Falls village
Little Falls
Lyons Falls village
Montour Falls village
Niagara Falls
Oriskany Falls village
Rensselaer Falls village
Seneca Falls village
South Fallsburg (should this one count?)
South Glens Falls village
Valley Falls village
Wappingers Falls village
West Glens Falls
For a total of 19, 20 if we count Fallsburg. Where city only has 6, however ville has 87, and village 557 listed. But I am unsure that the village is part of the place name.
Some places have City in the name of the place, like New York City, Oregon City, Rapids City. Sometimes the place really doesn’t seem large enough to merit the name, like Siler City, NC, although I suppose in the 19th century it was more prominent in its part of the state.
I think a hasty generalization has led to a false assumption. Many cities are incorporated as “City of x” or “x City”. But, “many” is not equivalent to “all”.
Who knows. Would NYC even be considered one “city”, rather than a set of burroughs, for this purpose? Or are the names perhaps normalized by population? If so, would they remove outliers as many statistical packages will do for you, but in this case they should leave them in, so if they were removed automatically that would not be great. Or if they just went with one name = one count then is there a minimum cutoff? Or a nearness criteria e.g. places near NYC still get swept up into it? And like how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? So many unanswered questions here…

Well, damn. Case closed lol
Enough said

And which does this map take into account?
