Jon Stewart last night said Alaska's population is about 1/5 of Chicago's. I had to check that. According to wikipedia which claims 2007 data, Alaska's population is 683,478. Chicago's is 2,836,658 so it's closer to 1/4.
As far as cities, Alaska would rank 17th, just above Fort Worth, TX. But I don't think of cities as much as metropolitan areas. As far as them, Alaska would rank 74th, just above the Pioneer Valley around Springfield, MA.
