Does this seem legit? The most common words in place (town/city) names per state in the U.S.

I'm not entirely sure. In my state (one of the ones shown as "city"), Wikipedia has 942 cities/towns listed and of those only 25 have "city" in their names.
I'm tempted to keep going to see how many Lake, Mount(ain), 'ville, 'burg, etc there are.

If despite the plethora of other words, City was the "mode", then that would make sense. Or it could be adjusted for population, or otherwise biased towards whatever the definition of a "city" is to specifically exclude towns and the like?
In any case it's kind of a neat graph to think about:-).
