*The CAHTT is the “Calculated Average Height of the Ten Tallest” buildings and towers of each city,

as described in the Methodology page. See also Ten Tallest Cities, and The Rise and Fall of the American Skyscraper.

 

** Scores under review.  See Methodology for details.

 

***The score for New York City 9/10 is what it would have been for New York, had the World Trade Center Towers

not been destroyed.
