More than 50 percent of America's wealthiest cities are in California.

By comparison, Europe with a population of 746 million has 1000 cities of more than 100k people.

You know whats interesting...China only has about 600 cities with over 100k population. India has 450.

That makes sense, China and India have large land masses and, despite huge populations, are significantly rural (China 36%, India 68%). Like all modernizing nations, their migration from rural to urban has greatly accelerated over the last 50 years. The US rural population is 20% while Europe's is 25%.
