About a month ago, Alan Lewis shared some of the charms of his hometown, San Jose, with visitors in town for our eBay Developers Conference. Apparently he's not alone. According to new US Census figures, the de facto capital of Silicon Valley is now the tenth-largest city in the United States. With a listed 904,522 residents, San Jose overtook the once-bustling Detroit.

Take that, Slim Shady. Uh.

San Francisco is in 14th place, with 744,230 residents. But it's still where I leave my heart.
