Overall, only seventeen of the fifty state capitals are their states most populous cities. Seven could grow ten times larger and still not be the most populous (Albany, Annapolis, Frankfort, Harrisburg, Jefferson City, Olympia, and Springfield), while another four would barely be (Carson City, Juneau, Pierre, and Sacramento). A few capitals are within striking distance of becoming #1 (Hartford had more people than Bridgeport a few decades ago) or losing the title (three C's: Charleston is only a few thousand above Huntington, Cheyenne is a few thousand above Casper, and Columbia is ten thousand ahead of another Charleston). Only one capital has over a million people (Phoenix), eight have over half a million, and 31 have over 100,000.
