Both Chicago and New York had increases of over 60,000. However, since Chicago's population grew from over 40,000 to over 100,000, this reflects a larger proportional increase in terms of percentage and the absolute increase exceeds New York's growth as well when considering the starting points. Therefore, Chicago is the notable city for the most significant overall increase.
