Tom Limongello tossed a thoughtful Twitter query at Kaiser Kuo a few minutes ago - what would we consider a fourth-tier city in the US.
I've spent the last few minutes staring at a list of the US Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and thinking about differences between China and the US (the things that make a first tier city different from a fourth tier city in the US are far more subtle than those differences in China), I look at the list and roughly figure the following:
- First Tier - Top 25 cities
- Second Tier - 26-50
- Third Tier - 51-100
- Fourth Tier - 100-150
- Fifth Tier - 150-380
- Sixth Tier - 380 and below
Take a look at the list. My breaks are partly arbitrary, but you can see real differences - objective and subjective - between those tiers.
Thoughts?
